I should be doing…NOTHING! In the past four days I finished and submitted a lab book, two formal lab reports (12+ pages each), two non-formal lab reports that were still 6-8 pages long, an essay (4 pages), two problem sets and a resume to a potential employer (I had to adapt it for the job and write the cover letter). So now, I have nothing due until next Wednesday, and so I am doing NOTHING productive all long weekend! WOOHOO!!! ---

Different then above, This afternoon I SHOULD be painting the house. I was going to do it once I got back from the vet having the parrots nails/wings clipped. I’m back from the vet now. I am still not painting the house. ☹ Ok Seven. Get off your ass and get to it. ---
