I'm stealing a list-type format from <ljuser=haikujaguar>: it's so lovely and seems to be an almost serene approach.

Comic: I've been playing around with this idea in my head for a few days now and I kinda like it, but I have my doubts and I have to do a bunch of research before I can even attempt writing this thing. It'll have to just sort of float around in my brain while I work on school stuff for the next few weeks.

Cooking: Here are a few recipes I've been wanting to make... these might have to wait, too. Sigh.
Pioneer Woman's  "Most Favorite Burger... for Now" (I am on a huge burger kick since I went to a Johnny Rocket's in Providence this summer and had the best burger of my life. Now I go around trying to find something, anything, that even comes close...)
Pithy and Cleaver's Black Forest Cookies (Chocolate, more chocolate, additional chocolate, and cherries. I might need to make these as stress relief...)

Fitness: Spring is taking forever to get here and I'm starting to feel really out of shape. Until it's consistently sunny (which, really, will be in like May, since early spring here  = rain) I've got either depressing gym or my apartment. Perhaps an aggressive cleaning, maybe some pilates? Any advice, guys?

Friends: Now is pretty much the worst time of year to be hanging out with friends, but one of my friends has dropped out for the rest of the term and she's going back home to stay with her parents for the summer. I feel a need to

School: I went to a dinner with my fellow students last night and absolutely everybody is stressed over schoolwork. The girl sitting across from me was working on finalizing the rough draft of her thesis, and everybody had papers and presentations and exams to study for... it just frayed my nerves a bit. Thankfully, though, I realised I can write one less paper if I go to a concert this Wednesday night, which is a huge plus. $15 concert vs. 2000 word paper? Works for me!

Work: Holy COW it's full in here today! You can tell it's the end-of-term crunch afoot. Usually I'll work my 4-hour Monday shift and get maybe 5 or 6 people... there were 5 people in here earlier at the same time! No more nose-picking for me...


And that's probably more than you needed to know about the brain of Meg... Anyway, time to make a happy playlist.

still brainstorming comic ideas. i discovered a brilliant comic concept that someone else has already had... and a few more already-been-dones. angst and woe.

but the bright spot to my day was on a walk across the quad in the early afternoon. as i stepped out of the life sciences centre, i saw a hopscotch pattern drawn in sidewalk chalk daring me to try it (it actually said "I DARE YOU!"). i did, in fact,try it, but my creaky old hips gave out on me after two hops, so i had to give up on the idea. as i continued my walk, i encountered another course, and then another, and then another. nobody was trying them, though. i got to my destination, ran my errand, and set off towards home. i encountered more hopscotch in front of the very crowded library. a nerdy-looking guy in front of me stopped and looked for a moment, and started hopping down the course as i passed. by the time i had a chance to look back inconspicuously, he'd already finished. but i still had a big goofy smile on my face as i walked away.
