I never write this blog with the idea that anyone actually is listening but my computer. But I suppose that's how cyberspace works. You put it out there and it's there. This blog is that silent listener for me. It's my horrendously underpaid psychiatrist.

St Patrick


He was a missionary in Ireland, huh? Interesting. I sorta wish there was some exciting story about how he was a martyr or did something cool. Oh well. Any excuse to celebrate.
I have been working on and off on my paper and other work today and the rest of the time has been spent basically pampering myself. I somehow feel like the more I pamper myself, the more i get done and more efficiently. If I take time to take a bath, check my e-mail, look at pictures and such then I can get myself to pound out a page of my paper in only a matter of minutes. But if I were to sit here staring at my computer screen that page would take me a good hour. So, personally, right now, I plan to err on the side of pampering.
As finals week approaches and I still have a few things to finish up, I am looking forward to having next week over and being able to read some Harry Potter (I am on the final book) so that I can really just get in some pleasure reading and movie watching. I am planning to try out my new barbecue tomorrow to cook some steaks. We'll see how that turns out. I better go to the grocery store tomorrow morning and start marinating them.
I will be sad when Jef and especially Jackie leave to go and have their spring breaks. I know i agreed to do this show and be here over spring break but I am realizing that it will be a strange and hard feeling to be left behind by so many people. The cast keeps talking about having lots of parties but there are many more hours of the day where I might feel a bit lonely especially since it looks like it might snow and I will be stuck inside. Yuck. I am ready for the nice weather again. I had to bring my seeds that I planted inside for fear that it might frost over tonight.
As for St Patrick's day, thanks to the pope for moving the celebration to today so that I can study on Monday night.
