....and I still have quite a handful of things to do. And too much on my mind. Of course, that is always a time to update my blog with my usual quirks to amuse you with. Let's call it a little present from me to you. After all, it is the holidays.
1. Okay, this could be the most random thing I've ever, EVER blogged about. I mean, who could have thought that I could put football and calculus together? But alas, I found a way. So in class the other day, we were finding antiderivatives of trigonometry functions (sorry if I lost you there), and as I was going to write the function cosecant (csc) I accidently wrote my little Spanish hubby's name (cesc). Either my mind was totally out of the classroom that day, or I just missed watching football that much. Or was it both? I don't even know. And why didn't I make that little mistake last year when I took pre-calc, which was when I initially started to learn this crap? I swear, my mind is something else. Anyways, that was a total *facepalm* moment, but at the end I couldn't help but laugh at myself for being such a dork to write his name instead of the reciprocal of sine. Worst Freudian slip ever? Perhaps, but it got me a good laugh at myself. And maybe, if you would like, you can laugh at that too. Sooth the ego.
2. I am using my Macbook for this post!! The first Mac post in the whole history of La Valse D'Jenn (which is two years worth of blogging with only 1/8 of the comments). How exciting! I always feel so spiffy using this thing, like those hip kids in the coffee shops on their laptops, writing a thesis or something of that matter.
3. I have not done any Christmas shopping yet. If anything, I'm just procrastinator at LIFE, not just school. That is probably a horrible life ethic to live by, but in the scheme of things it hasn't failed me yet. Does that mean that I need to seriously screw up in order to learn my lessons? Usually that is the case, but time usually has a way of leaving me, therefore I certainly have no time to do things. And on top of that, I have quite possibly eight dozen cookies to bake during this weekend (and possibly Monday), and of course, catching up on homework that I was too lazy to work on during the week. See? Like I said, procrastinator at LIFE.
4. I hope, with all my heart, that with this privilege of having a laptop at the comforts of my own desk in my room, I do not become a hermit from my family or life in general. Because my family doesn't believe in 'privacy', which I am a huge advocate of, I must say. This is where my ultimate weakness, time management, comes in. I don't know how I could be motivated to do the things around the house. I have thought of doing to-do lists, but sometimes I feel too lazy to write things down (go figure). Should I try it? Leaving sticky notes all over my room, or even virtual stickies on my Macbook (it's a great feature, by the way, so cool!) If you guys have any motivational tips, do tell. I mean, the only motivational tip I have is having a picture of NYC on my desk as I do homework, so everytime I look up in disappointment as I do homework, I have the picture to remind me of what I'm working for.
5. I have this obsession with Gap. Their classy, sophisticated clothes, those warm sweaters, just their whole aesthetic of the store gives me this warm and toasty feeling inside. And of course, those adorable ads with that plethora of celebrities. I fondly remember last year seeing a humungous Gap ad featuring John Krasinski and was overwhelmed with joy. This year's ads are just as adorable, including this uber cute music video of some celebs singing "Jingle Bells". I am so inspired to wear striped sweaters again, perhaps I'll sneak a sweater or two when I go shopping tomorrow.
6. I will be leaving for Houston, Texas for the Christmas break, from the 23rd to the 30th. I honestly don't know if my aunt has internet access at her house, so I'll try to blog once more before I leave!!
