Weekends suck.
i came home yesterday at two in the afternoon with the intent of getting all of my homework done (that amounted to reading 70 pages of Hegel, two 1.5 page essays, reading 20 pages of Pinker/Linguistics, reading 5 pages of another Linguistics book, and starting to read King Lear).  Now, Saturday night, i’ve read 35 pages of Hegel.  That’s it.  Why?  Yesterday i wound up babysitting for four hours (it was supposed to be one) and then cleaning the house (which i normally do on Saturdays).  Today, even though i woke up early, i wound up helping clear out the utility room so that we can remove the tile flooring in there and then babysitting for another three hours (which was expected).  The response i got both yesterday and today: “you’ve got all weekend to do your homework!”  Yeah, right.  i think i’ll stay home tomorrow while the family’s at church so that i can do my homework without interruptions.
On top of that, i still want to work on reading Dune Messiah but i don’t think i’ll have the time to do so.  Silly me also went to the library and got Idea of the Holy hoping to read through it this weekend as well.  Thankfully, i have a week or so to read it.
6 days till the cold north.
9 days till Mardi Gras (und mein Geburstag!)
