I'm no philosopher, but...

...we Americans often quip over Shakespeare lines.  I've been thinking a bit about ole William lately what with London on the horizon.  The most trite and overly quoted of all his lines comes from Hamlet~To be or not to be.  Perhaps that is the question, but lately I find myself asking to do or not to do?  I'll be the first to admit I love a good project.  I love organizing or writing a paper or washing a sink full of dishes (when no dishwasher is readily available).  However, I'm like the ancient copy machine at my elementary school that freezes up when commanded to do too many jobs at once.  I seize up, perhaps make an unpleasant noise (like that incessant beeping that copier makes), and then decide I need to shut down before moving on.  My shut down normally involves a nap.  Then once I get back on track, I find the lowest priority task to occupy myself with to avoid really accomplishing what needs to be done.

Tis unfortunate that this blog sometimes is the object of my procrastination.  Whether it's changing the backdrop as frequently as the sun rises and sets or just writing an entry at inopportune moments, I successfully shirk real responsibilities.  At this very moment, I could be lesson planning and burning a cd for the class I have planned tomorrow.  I also have 30 pages of French to read as well as research and an outline due on the Brittany region of France.  There are also a shameful number of dingy plates, silverware, and glasses which deserve a dip in the sink.  I imagine there is also a full laundry basket lurking under the bed, but out of sight~out of mind.

How to kick start?  When even the weight of duty and a genuine interest in these activities isn't enough to muster the strength to just get started on one, what is a girl to do?  I'm not sure just yet... How's about I report back to yall about what I read in my textbook for class?  It'll have more to do with ad-FRENCH-ure than what I'm up to today (Kyle and I went to the grocery store to get fajita ingredients and then we got McFlurries at McDo and enjoyed them while watching COPS~nothing French about any of that).  We'll go from there... in the mean time, this was a less than stellar entry~just a bit of reflection and wasting time before I really buckle down on the tasks at hand.  Farewell for now friends!
