what am i doing right now? i know it only takes me about twenty-five minutes, tops, to get cleaned and dressed in the morning, but i always get up an hour before my classes. so i finish scrubbing up and all that, and even on a slow day, end up with 15 minutes until it’s time to leave (15 minute skate to class), during which i sit here and stare at the wall or something. at least one of my roommates is still asleep so music is out, checking email takes up about 30 seconds, and i never have breakfast anymore, so what do i do with this time? well, for now, i do this.

i should take up some intricate hobby, like building a ship in a bottle or one of those little scale model cars, and work on it just during these fifteen minutes every day. then i wouldn’t be stuck sitting here drooling every morning, and in a year maybe i’d have a nice dumb ship in a bottle, or a stupid little car (i don’t really like cars, in that guy way where you’re supposed to be excited about them. they are good for transport, though) that i could look at and say, “i was really stupid for not just sleeping an extra 15 minutes every morning and then rushing to get ready on time, you damn ugly trinket”.

but if i did that, i’d always feel like i’m running late, since this routine is already ingrained. how about that.

uh oh, time to go to class.
