Procrastination Induced Excitement

Lately I've been noticing that stressful situations are somehow morphing into the only excitement in my life. E.g. Today I wrote up a two page seminar summary and also a one page lab introduction within thirty five minutes before handing them in. It was a challenge! I suppose I won't really know if I passed the challenge until they are both graded, but I think I did pretty decent. First I had to write them up, send them to myself via email, run to the computer lab, fetch the files from yahoo, print them out, and finally run upstairs to my class. I was pretty surprised I was on time since I left my dorm with only five minutes to spare.

Anway, I pondered the notion while munching on a green pepper at dinner and I thought that perhaps I was procrastinating on purprose just so that I would have to rush to get my work done. In turn, excitement would enter my life in the form of stress. Then again, I was having fun at the same time; so I suppose it all equals out.

The other reason could be that I'm just really freaking lazy.

I think it's probably the latter.

Salad!

Random thought/observation of the day:

If there's no more lettuce in the bowl at the salad bar, everyone bypasses the station completely. I really don't understand the reason for this. I guess I can see how the lettuce is the "main ingredient" to the salad, but by no means is it the most nutritious. I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually the least benificial; especially with the fact that my school serves iceberg lettuce, which is mostly water and has very few nutrients. Besides that, there are mushrooms, carrots, cherry tomoatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Eating even a small amount of one of the other vegetables seperately would be more benificial than eating a whole bowl of the iceburg lettuce.

I should also take into account that most people usually get lettuce only, which is probably the biggest factor. I also don't understand this. I suppose I could just blame it all on ignorance. I wonder if students really believe they are eating healthy by filling their small salad bowl with iceberg lettuce and drowning it in dressing that is high in fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, sodium, etc.

Anyway, it is unfortunate for the ignorant. That's all for now. Until next time! Learn more about food before consuming it! Of course that's only if you care about yourself.

Organization of Thoughts

First livejournal, then a second livejournal, then blogger; these things don't last forever, but I seem to have fun with them while I have them. Of course the fun lies in the replies I get which I don't get many of, but it's still worth it nonetheless. I just like the organization and easy access of all my random thoughts.

Speaking of random thoughts, I had one during brunch today. There are multiple TV's in my cafeteria at school and I was wondering if I could program a remote control to work on them. I imagined myself changing all the channels in the cafe while everyone else was looking around wondering what the hell was going on. Of course this made me giggle and caused people around me to glance at me strangely, wondering why and how I was laughing by myself. I wonder if many other people randomly make themselves laugh. I've never seen it happen before.

Nuts

Hmm, somehow I created my blog last night and it all got deleted? I really hope that doesn't happen again. Creations are important!
