ugh i really wish my parents had gone out of town during a weekend that wasn't right before common tests. because i'm fully tempted to do all the things i wouldn't do if my mom was here, like wake up really late and watch tv for hours instead of eating breakfast and then basically have lunch directly after - all the while watching tv or something - and then bathe after lunch, and sleep again in the afternoon and not do a spot of studying.

as it is, i blissfully ignored my 9am alarm and instead woke up at 1030 - much later than i'd intended and that too only because the maid woke me up. and then i lingered over breakfast and the life section for an hour, and then tv for another hour-ish. switching between discovery channel about some guys on a quest in morocco, to recreate a battle ram thingy that the romans used to break fortress walls, and something on discovery travel&living about amazing vacation homes in canada and vegas, which just totally reinforced the slacking instinct and the desire to take a vacation. yeah so it's 1245 now. took a shower, and now my maid's got lunch ready so i'm having lunch just over an hour after breakfast.

and i'm planning to watch an episode of buffy over lunch.

hurrah for me!
