20 Things I am Doing Instead of My Thesis

1. Applying lotion to my feet.
2. Learning "Wild Horses" on the guitar.

6. Watching my lava lamp.
7. Planning my wedding in my head.
8. Adding tasks that I've already accomplished to my whiteboard To-Do list just so I can have the satisfaction of erasing them.

12. Updating my blog.
13. Watching 30 Rock.
14. Researching student loan repayment options.
15. Alphabetizing my DVDs. Well, they were already alphabetized, but I have to shift them in their case every time I get a new one.
16. Straightening my hair.
17. Searching for a proper-sized screw with which to reattach the toe-clip to my right bike pedal.
18. Pining for a life coach and a personal stylist.
