Officially Distractable

Swamped is a good way to describe life right now. Mostly from schoolwork, but also from responsibilities of the extracurriculars. Things I need to do from Sunday - Wednesday: sing in church, meet with a group to figure out a finance paper, take a quiz, take two exams, write one case analysis, be interviewed for the internship I'm dying to have, learn Access for a computer lab, and try to set up an interview with people in the U.S. Trade Representative's office for my Turkey consulting project.

My goal for today was to read the three articles I needed to read in order to take the quiz and write the paper. I went to Panera to read the two articles I had on hard copy. I read those articles faster than I've ever read articles this year. I did not have my laptop open, I knew no one around me, there was no TV, and some smooth jazz was playing in the background. Feeling good about myself, I came home to make myself some dinner and read the last article, which is in PDF form on my computer. That was four hours ago, and I'm on page 3.

Websites I've frequented: Facebook, Gmail, Weather.com, Facebook, Horoscope Compatibility, GWork (our school's website for jobs & internships), Prudential & Nationwide (trying to find insurance quotes for our hypothetical condo we are buying for aforementioned finance paper), Liberty Center (the location of said hypothetical condo purchase...may I live here please?), Facebook, a blog I like, The New Colony, Spider Solitaire, Facebook.

I need that security system that the Federal government has installed on employees' computers so I'm blocked from going to these websites and I can do my work. Here's to another late night.
