I was supposed to study for it on Friday (but I went to play poker at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apl1.net\/\"  target=\"out\"><font color=\"#bb3300\">APL HQ<\/font><\/a> instead; then when we got home, Brian and I watched this Katie Holmes&#8217; flick Abandon). I tried to study for it again on Saturday after working out, but I ended up reading more of my new favorite blog <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/returnhappy.blogspot.com\/\"  target=\"out\"><font color=\"#bb3300\">Return to Happiness<\/font><\/a>. Then I blogged some and then it was time to go to our couples massage. Afterwards we grubbed at Wildfire Diner, this new diner that Brian&#8217;s parents discovered a couple of months ago. We were going to see Hitch, but decided that our favorite balcony seats (A6 or A7) were probably sold out at the theater since it&#8217;s date night and it was already almost 8p. I didn&#8217;t want to have to sit anywhere else so we nixed that idea. We just ended up going home and watching Saw (that movie is messed up; good plot twist, though). I decided I would go to bed right after the movie so I could wake up early the next day to study. I planned to study before my workout this time. Didn&#8217;t work. I was able to get up early as I planned. That&#8217;s not the problem. It&#8217;s just that whenever I get on the computer I always find ways to procrastinate. My procrastination method this time was reading more <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/returnhappy.blogspot.com\/\"  target=\"out\"><font color=\"#bb3300\">Return to Happiness<\/font><\/a>. I did pay bills though, so I got those out of the way until my next paycheck comes. Anyway, pretty soon it was time to go workout. By the time I returned, I just had enough time to shower and then go to dinner at my in-laws. Dinner, which normally is a two-hour affair, lasted almost four hours. We were there from 5p to a little after 9p. Jason was there so we did a lot of yapping before, during and after dinner. And then we played Phase 10 as I mentioned in the previous post. We got home at 10p and by then I was too tired and sleepy (we had lasagna and pasta always makes me feel sleepy afterwards) to even attempt to crack the books. I thought I would have a few minutes to study at work today but work was really hectic. I barely had time to think! I have lots of things on my to-do list for tomorrow so I really have to study tonight. My only option is to skip ACCT 560, which is okay because it&#8217;s a kind of boring anyway. Besides, Jen won&#8217;t be there and without her to entertain me I&#8217;ll zonk out for sure. She brings crayons for us to draw and doodle with during the lecture. It helps keep us both awake. Anyhow, since she&#8217;s not going to be there with her crayons and good humor (yikes, that sounds like ice cream; no she doesn&#8217;t bring any ice cream to class; although, that might be an idea for next week), I figured I&#8217;d be better off staying home. I know I need to study tonight, but whether or not I get around to actually studying&#8230; Well, that&#8217;s another question altogether. I&#8217;ve already killed much needed study time by posting this blog entry which, incidentally, was only supposed to take two seconds but I ended up writing a whole bunch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m skipping ACCT 560 (Accounting Information Systems) today to study for my BLAW 431 (Business Law) exam.
