I should be in class right now, actually, but I’m feeling completely brain-dead and my stomach is a bit upset this evening.

So since I’m not in class I should be doing homework for one of my three classes tomorrow. But instead, I’m browsing the internet and reading a trashy novel.

I would have gotten a lot done today if I hadn’t been reading Robert Benchley’s essay on procrastination, _How To Get Things Done._
