Rule 408: You should always waste time when you don't have any. Time is not the boss of you.
Anyway, my house is looking pretty good. I've even gone so far as to organize some of my drawers. I did every single bit of my laundry. My to-do list is terrifying and yet awesome, with a color-coding system and even some level of spatial organization according to when the finals are. I have all the finals and deadlines up on the wall where I can see them.
Studying is not going as well.
The internet was down all day yesterday, which should have been an incitement to study better and perhaps it was a little bit, but I think my moping about it took up some study time too. I did read Cicero letters until my eyes were crossing and I could no longer read Latin, so there's that.
On the other hand, food! I haven't been so good about food lately, mostly sticking with chicken nuggets after the whole thing where I got ill and wasn't able to eat anything but bread and crackers and broth for a few days. But yesterday I cooked some navy beans in my crockpot with half an onion, some pepper, and the remaining slice and a half of the Thanksgiving ham. (I had thawed it and chopped up half a slice the preceding day to put it on a baked potato, so I needed to use it up fast.) The smell was unbelievably awesome. Sooo good. But the ham... did not really appreciate being cooked for five hours, being that it was pre-cooked. Oops. So that's sort of tough, which is sad. The upside is, the beans taste absolutely wonderful, and I've frozen the resultant broth - which was sort of thick and very yummy - to use for future cooking endeavors. Speaking of frozen broth, I'm using my frozen homemade veggie stock to make some brown rice today, and I'll probably see about picking up an avocado to chop up in there because it tasted really good last time.
Fuyu persimmon update: Sorta lovely. I picked four of them off the tree and they've been hanging out in my fridge, progressing toward mushy gorgeousness. These ones have big huge seeds. The flesh is dark red and orange with some hints of brown. They taste WAY better like this.
