The Question: What Good Have I Done Today?

My daily schedule is all over the place, but here is an attempt to put my daily routine in words.

My alarm goes off at 6:45, I then press the "snooze" button and sleep for 15 more minutes. I get out of bed, let the dog out, let the dog in, feed the dog. I then, very slowly, get dressed in the living room. I always attempt to make breakfast every morning, but usually as soon as I get started I realize that getting dressed took me twice as long as I had hoped--why do alarm clocks have snooze buttons? If only I could get those fifteen minutes back. I frantically get my things together and head to class. After class, I head home and check my email. I then spend the time between work and class avoiding homework, and wasting time on the internet. People say that TV rots your brain, I don't have cable so the internet will have to do. Between 3pm and 6pm I head to work (work doubles as my social life) and get home around midnight. I avoid my homework for another hour or so, then finally do as little of it as quickly as possible. I get back in bed around 3am, fall asleep pretty easily, and the process starts again.

I should note that weekends are usually used to catch up on sleep.

Not a very interesting routine, and certainly a routine I would someday like to change (why am I writing this blog, when I should be writing a paper about this blog?). If there is one thing obvious in my daily routine, it is that I am the instigator of my own short comings. So much time, so little done.
