I had a lovely birthday! My wonderful family in Monterrey surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of tulips, mom and Christian and I made chocolate cupcakes with pink cream cheese frosting (Mrs. G, I’m hoping to make the cake soon. Maybe this weekend!), and Jenna stopped by with a pretty lamp for my room. Mom also made a quiche for dinner, hence today’s Betty Blonde. She remembered to chop and peel and break and mix the ingredients though, so it came out perfectly. 🙂 It was really a great day.
Last night I completely re-organized my schedule – again. Usually I’ll wake up, read the Bible, eat breakfast, and head to the computer for math homework. Going to the computer first thing in the morning is not good for me. There’s way too much temptation to check Facebook, read blogs, and catch up on news and e-mail. Thus the alterations to my daily schedule! Today I woke up, read the Bible and ate breakfast. Then I went upstairs and turned on the classical station (which unfortunately for me was having a radio-thon) and spent an entire hour on CLEP US History II. I got SO much work done. It was really incredible. Even though it slowed up my morning a bit, I got way more work done than I would have if I had started with my math and done my CLEP in the afternoon like I usually do. I can’t avoid doing homework on the computer. I’ve got math, Spanish, and blogging to do, but today I placed non-computer homework in between all the computer homework. It has worked very well so far!
Bravo Kelly! I too have to wait until later in the day to get on the computer because it really slows my day down! Good luck on the cake, email me for chocolate recommendations if you want! Glad you had a great birthday.
Glad you had a nice Birthday. Easy to get side track on the computer.
It sounds like a great plan. I struggle with the same things. I think we all do. If I make it to my computer on a day off before I do anything serious, it seems like I lose a good portion of the day, not necessarily on horrible things, but just on things that don’t matter as much as the other things I should have done first! 🙂

Happy (belated) Birthday!

Mrs. G… I will surely do that!!! We’ll see how it goes!
Lynn: I know! Procrastination is one of my worst problems. But this new system helps.
Thank you Mr. Holzmann! 🙂
