Why is it

that the more I have on my to-do list,
the less motivation I have to do it?
3 chapters I need to read today. About 65 pages.
To retain, do my assignments and notes, I read about 5 pages an hour.
That's almost 13 hours and it's already noon.
And all I want to do?
ANYTHING else.
Doing the dishes and folding laundry never seemed so interesting...
What's with my lack of motivation this weekend??
I'd like to say it's from study overload,
but I suspect it might stem from a lack of discipline/laziness.
No, course not.
It's not me, it's school.
Right.

2 out of 3 meals today

have consisted of cake. True story.
Caramel Apple Cinnamon coffee cake, actually.
Here is the recipe. I used about a million times the cinnamon she put, but I really love the stuff.
It turned out super moist and just the right balance of all flavors.
My husband is a big fan too, because he can't get enough caramel! Win-win.

I've been reading the day away about dosage calculations, which has been just a blast, let me tell you. But I still have two more chapters I want to get done (two small ones; one about Activity & Exercise and one about communicating with patients) and I CANNOT stop piddling around! My brain needs a break!

Well, a longer one... Because I definitely just got done with my coffee/cake/one episode of How I Met Your Mother break I give myself every evening to break up the 4-10 hours of reading I do a day (depending on if it is or is not a school day.)

I need to re-focus! Easier said than done... Though, I suppose just getting started was never a bad first step.

I keep telling myself that the sooner I read these chapters, the sooner I'll have free time! -To do fun free-timey things like fold laundry, call my mother and take a shower. But it's time I'm not studying, and that's good enough for me! - ANYWAYS. That's just not motivation enough.

But, in my little time of procrastination I managed to check Facebook so much that nothing new has happened and all my e-mail has been checked. I updated my blog and now I'm left with no choice but to study! SIGH.

Amazing how I can write 7 paragraphs about nothing, isn't it?? Well, done now. Off to take that first step to the rest of my evening.
