The Politics of Emotion

I'm going to see how many posts I can get in 2009 that have a Lostprophets' song title as the entry title. So far I'm 2 for 2!

I am now back to work after my incredibly busy two week layoff. Had I not been laid off from December 20 through January 4th, I may have had to take all that time off anyway, as such is usually the case.

I am also back to school. This was really the part of January that I was dreading. I don't think I have the following traits which are necessary for online schooling:

1. An attention span
2. Discipline
3. Time management skills
4. The ability to do school when I would rather do any of the following:

• Playing video games. Specifically: Animal Crossing City Folk
• Watch TV on DVD.
• Sit on my bed - thinking about what I should be doing for school - and watch Aharon play video games.
• Clean. Yes. I like to clean. It's almost unhealthy how much I like to clean. But only if it's my mess. I don't like cleaning up after others.

I think all of those bullet points as well as item #4 lead me back to item #1.

I really want to make a bunch of lists. For what purpose, I do not know. But I want to.
