procrastination.

This is the first week since school started again for Fall semester that I've procrastinated quite a bit. I have shit-tons of homework to do, a test to study for, chapters to read, and Word documents to edit and hand in. I've been working so hard to stockpile money the past few weeks and this week, my efforts have paid off. I have one full day off work every week, although I still have a 3-hour class that morning.. but other than that, all I'm doing is working!

I think I'm just getting a bit tired. Slowing down a little after so many hectic weeks.

I just finished reading Christopher Ciccone's Life With My Sister Madonna the other night. It only took about 4 readings to finish it, its a quick 300+ pages. The subject matter, of course, didn't hurt my rushed progression, since I always strive to digest as much information about Madonna as humanly possible.

I realize, even though the story is totally one-sided (Christopher's POV), that Madonna has lost touch with reality. Well, who hasn't these days? I think the same of myself sometimes. But when the bills keep pouring into my mailbox, I quickly snap back to the real world. And procrastination is not one of Madonna's characteristics either, so I think I need to stop that right now. She also doesn't allow many people to get too close to her. When they begin to attach themselves, she discards them. Don't know her too well. Sounds kind of familiar to me, yikes. And, as we all knew, she is a total bitch. That quality also rings absolutely true for.... me.

The one good thing I took from the book is to begin delving back into Kabbalah again. Christopher Ciccone was turned onto the Kab by Madge, as was I. Just experimentally, of course. But I took a lot from Kabbalah. Time to quit procrastinating, pursue life a bit more, and open those old Kabbalah study books gathering dust on my bookshelf.
