I see I got my last W2 in the mail yesterday (I didn’t check until today), so I _should_ do my taxes as early as possible, to see if I should get an IRA to lower a possible payment. Eh, next week. ---

The List: My Phonology homework, a commentary on an article I’ve only half read (also for Phonology), reviewing my Arabic homework, studying for an Arabic quiz… All of which must be done by tomorrow morning. I don’t see sleep anywhere in the near future. (But what am I about to go do? Oh, that’s right. Sit on the couch and attempt to finish _The Dark Tower_. :smack: ) ---

I should be translating the sixth Captain Underpants book which I am supposed to finish tomorrow, but instead I’m sipping on a bottle of cold beer and chatting with my friends. I guess my editor will have to wait a day or two. ---

I should be either cleaning my room or getting ready to go to the gym. I WILL do both of these things (gym first), but it’s taking longer than I anticipated 😃 ---

Lessee, Sunday afternon… I _should_ be making out with the boyfriend, but he’s not here. So then, I should be working on a document for work I was supposed to have been writing all week long, but have instead been spending too many work hours on the SDMB. I’ll get right to that. After I play a little bit of World of Warcraft. It’s a beautiful day outside; no sense doing anything other than staying inside a dark room in front of a computer screen. ---

Cleaning the house. Eh. It’ll just get dirty again. ---

I’m supposed to be doing a cosmology calculation for a research project, but I already spent an hour or so on it today, so I’m here instead. I also should be doing laundry. ---

I should be doing my Chemistry assignment. I have a quiz that I don’t know how to do and problems from the book that I can’t figure out. So I decided to take a break. I also should be working on my Biology assignment which consists of - get this - a chemistry quiz. Sigh. I could also be doing my online class. But I’ll probably just end up putting it off until the week before the class ends and then busting my butt to finish all the tests. Sure is hard work slacking off all the time. ---
