Sloth
Today was the laziest day I've had in a long time. Chem was canceled because we had an exam, but since I had already taken it, I lounged around doing nothing. Then at work, I realized that it was a fire drill, and I was only there for half an hour. There's plenty of stuff that needs doing and I didn't do any of it, and now I'm disgusted with myself. I know I';m doing it because my semester isn't busy enough and I'm not taking enough classes. Thank God I'll be busier next semester. I hate being this lazy.

Scheduling my life
I've kinda-sorta registered for all my classes for spring semester! And they are as follows:
Organic Chemistry
Cell Biology
Dance in the New Millennium (300-level)
Dance in the Community
Ballet IV
I'm especially excited for Dance in the Community, because we'll get to perform for people and teach dance workshops! It'll be amazing! I was planning on taking Statistics, but I think that'll have to happen over the summer while I do my PRAXIS. I'm sure it'll be easier than taking Bio over the summer. This is more of a balance between science and dance, plus I'll take care of one of my 300 level requirements.
As usual, an evening of tweaking my schedule turned into obsessing over graduate school. (Yessssss.) BU actually seems like it's trying to seduce me, with its 99.5% graduation rate and 100% of its student body finding jobs within 6 months after graduation. I would love to stay in Massachusetts, and I'd especially love to stay in Boston. I like the idea of moving to a city and discovering it for myself. Caroline lived in Boston a few summers ago and my mom went there for undergrad, but I've only been twice and I'd love to explore and learn about it. I think it would be an excellent place to hide in my apartment and study, but I guess pretty much any city is suited for those purposes.

Smoothing out the wrinkles
Tomorrow is the adjudication for the Bare Bones concert-- for all intents and purposes, a super important audition. I was having mini panic attacks thinking about it, and worrying about it, and worrying that it's Monday evening right now and I forgot to go, and I worked myself up into knots of anxiety when I decided to read my favorite book and take a bath.
I Capture the Castle is a book I keep around just in case I need comfort. Normally when I have a problem I talk to my sisters, but since this isn't a problem that they can help me solve, it makes sense to turn to a book. When I picked it up this weekend I had the happy realization that the character Neil kind of reminds me of my brother-in-law (which is complicated in the context of the plot, but I'm talking about the character alone). I swear I wasn't trying to make that happen, but I'm glad that it did.
Lying in the bath calmed me down significantly, and reading the tail end of the novel completely took my mind off my worries. I consider myself very fortunate that my stress and anxiety is often dispelled by cups of hot tea, guided meditation, or taking a dance class. At the end of such activities I have a fresh perspective and feel at least somewhat revived. It's good to be so easy to please.
