I am going on a three and a half hour car drive, and here is my list of priorities:
- write more chapters for the life of a short archer (a masonyew story)
- drink water
here is what I have accomplished so far:
- spend ten minutes listening to my friend's completely nonsense voicemail and praying it gets better (it didn't)
- argue with my brother over the correct way to pronounce 'zinc' (yes, like the element on the periodic table. Don't ask) (and yes, there are now apparently two ways to pronounce it. Someone pronounced it as 'seenk' instead of 'zink'. Atrocious)
- explain my English class to my parents after one of them asked how my day went and I launched into an explanation of Act 2, Scene 1 of Much Ado About Nothing (with quotations, yes I am that much of a nerd)
- argue with my brother (again) over sandwiches
- accidentally text my partner a long, sappy rant that I meant to send to a mutual friend, and follow it up by considering to jump out the window as my mother teased me about how bad I was blushing as I frantically deleted it (we've only been together for about three months, maybe four, and I am down BAD and they already have too much blackmail on me)
- stare at my waterbottle like it holds the secrets to life
- spend another ten minutes zoned out listening to music
- write this list
as you can see, I am feeling very productive today 👍🏻🙏🏻
