Time Wasting is an Art

If I am to successfully waste my time, then I need to be interested in more things. I cannot only allow myself to be entertained by certain types of TV shows, because that is all I want to do, watch TV, and only the shows I consider worthy. It becomes annoying at times like this, when I have run out of episodes to watch of the series I like, and no new series have popped up to claim my interest. I have nothing else to do, and I don't want to do any physical tasks, such as clean, so I am left trying to waste time on the web, vainly.

So far, I have:

  • Checked Dramabeans and Dramacrazy
  • Deleted only a few of the people-I-will-never-talk-to-again off my Facebook account. It took much longer than I'd been hoping, which is why I only deleted a few.
  • Stalked good looking and *successful* men on Facebook.
  • Checked Dramabeans and Dramacrazy
  • Stalked acquaintances on  Facebook.
  • Checked Dramabeans and Dramacrazy
  • Stalked actual friends on Facebook.
  • Checked Dramabeans and Dramacrazy
  • Stalked myself on Facebook. (By looking at my own pictures of when I used to be happy and successful....I used to be so happy and successful!!)
  • Trolled wedding pictures online.
  • Checked Ch131
  • Checked Dramabeans and Dramacrazy
  • Started reading an article, got bored.
  • Read an article about these awesome Muslim American football players that took time off to make the pilgrimage to Meccah; the article was linked by someone on Facebook.
As you can see, I am apparently very limited in what I find interesting; looking into the "inner" worlds of good looking and successful people. If an activity does not include such, then I am instantly bored. Sigh.

Updates


  • I'll be leaving for Japan/Korea in 10 days!!!!!!!!!!!! o.0 It's gonna happen, y'all.
    • I have to clean before I leave. Yuck. My room, my bed (which I use as a large table to hold all of my food), my car, my clothes.  I have been trying to find motivation ALL week. It has yet to be found.
  • I've been bored. 
    • Because I'm not in school, and I only work, I've found myself to be really bored lately. The first couple months, I was ok with wasting my time on the internet, reading, working, and then volunteering a little bit.  But now, I feel like I've exhausted all the entertainment I can get out of those. I need to entertain myself in different ways. But this requires effort, so I've just been sleeping more, which is SUPER bad, because that can lead me to feeling cranky and/or depressed. I don't know if this is because I'm itching to start my trip already, if I'm finally (???) ready to start classes again, or a combination of both. I'll definitely be less bored next semester!
  • I've been re-admitted, officially.
    • I can only take two classes, and they have to be classes I've failed, so I will be re-taking two anthropology classes. I'll have a phone appointment with my advisor next week to sign me up for the classes. 
    • I have made a plan in which I would unofficially attend other anthro classes, and  do all the assignments, and they could then enter me as having taken/completed the class over the summer.  This way, I can make a larger dent in those 45 credits that are keeping me from graduation. But I'm scared. In order to do this, I need to go into the anthro department and talk to my professors to ask them for this opportunity. I don't want to! It's so embarrassing and nerve racking to have to go back and ask them for help again! ugh. 
    • ugh. 
    • ugh. 
    • What if I don't follow through? Again?
