When there is nothing to do--no place to be at a certain time, no deadline to meet the next day, and no task requiring urgency to complete--I think I feel more stressed out than I do if all of that were reversed. They say busy people are better with time management and I suppose that's true. Because without a million things to do, I feel like I have nothing to do but still feel the pressure of "I should do this or that" and so on. Yes, I am much happier and content when I have to be in a million different places at once. Yesterday was a strange day. It rained a lot (this is the most rain we've had in years) and so when the final bell rang, everyone scattered off campus like a sneeze. I, having no place to be, wandered arounded campus lost and contemplating what to do with my self. I went to the theatre room and sat down at the piano to figure out a song to audition with. Well, that wasn't much help since I don't play piano, and I was too soon interrupted by Steven and Ryan doing tech things. So I went to the band room. Played piano on my own accord and then heard people running around in the hallway. Annoyed, I packed up, closed down, and went home. It's still rainy and cold today and I still feel...strange, but that's the way it is sometimes. You just have to move from one awkward transition to the next. Besides, there's always something to be done... On a side note, I need to document some incredible progress I've made lately on Sin is a Myth. I now have complete and indepth bios for almost all of the characters and ideas coming out my ears. I've been careful not to have dead chapters but keep everything moving and bear some significance to the over-all theme of the book. Falcom is becoming a much larger character than I had intended and I am now very familiar with all of the seven Varberas daughters--interesting girls, I can assure you. I almost feel sorry for some of them. Anyways, I've broke over 30+ pages now, a huge relief considering how long I've been working (or at least trying to work) on this thing. Hopefully I can keep chuggling along at it... Carrie
