Oh, dear. I am such a terrible manager of my time. You would have thought that College Success Skills class would have cured me of that. But no. Today is supposed to be my big catch-up day with writing my novel, reading, writing in my journal, doing a little sewing, and possibly even decorating my bare aluminum Christmas tree that stands in the corner. But no. I have been distracted all morning, mostly by the Internet. It's just so tempting, when I'm writing my story. That little Internet Explorer button is right there, and it's so easy to click it, just to check Blogger or search for the meaning of a name, I tell myself. An hour later, I somehow find myself drooling over journals on Etsy. How did that happen? It's a mystery.


I can see now that I'm going to get nothing accomplished today. Except those 400 words I wrote in my story this morning.
I'm so thankful that my class was canceled this morning. Our community college had a lockdown. Someone saw three guys, one with a gun and another with a baseball bat. I'm still not exactly sure what happened, but the police were called. Nobody at the school was hurt, and the lockdown has been lifted. I'm so glad that I wasn't there...it would have been really scary. And I would have been arriving there just after the lockdown was enforced, so it would have been chaotic, I'm sure. I couldn't have gotten to class anyway and probably would have had to just drive back home.
"Dancing with the Stars" was awesome this week. Probably one of the best weeks ever. On Monday night, the dances were awesome, especially the Latin round where they had to dance with a theme of a certain decade: 60's through the future. Derek and Joanna's futuristic dance was one of the weirdest dances I've ever seen, but it was amazing. And I just love Mya and Dmitri. And Michael Buble sang my two favorite songs of his on there last night: "Haven't Met You Yet" and "Feelin' Good." It was so lovely.
Switchfoot's new CD "Hello Hurricane" came out yesterday, and JesusFreakHideout's reviews are really good for it. I'm such a dummy...I was in the Christian bookstore (both of them in our town) yesterday, but only looked at the books. I didn't even go into the CD section, because I thought that CD wasn't being released until the end of November. So now I have to stop by there tomorrow after class and pick it up. The sample clips sound very interesting!
Why is writing a story so much harder than writing in a blog? I'm off...to try and do something productive with my day.
Until next time,
Kristin (missvintagegirl)
