Dateline 10-2-2016

Yesterday ended up being a great transition out of the way I was feeling for a majority of last week. I woke up nice and early and since it wasn't a work day I was able to waste some time on the YouTube for a while as I thought about what I wanted to write for my Daily Breaker post.

I have a growing addiction to reaction videos which I feel is doing a great job at lightening my mood. I know this addiction won't last long because the format is a bit monotonous but for now I'm enjoying both the content being reacted to and the comments of the reactors. The thing is, you never see any bickering of negativity in these videos, that makes a bit of a fun virtual shared experience going on while watching these video, which I've been lacking IRL as the kids say on the Internet.

This was a nice way to ease into the day. After about an hour, I finally got around to making my Wicker Post and started on my latest Android App lesson when I realized that it may have been too early of a start for me as I could barely keep my eyes open.

I stumbled over to my bed to fit in a quick nap and I really was expecting it to be quick because I wanted to get a lot done. I woke two hours later to a silent room. I apparently managed to hit the mute button on my TV which happens from time to time and I love it when it does because, for some reason, I can't stand a silent room when it is intentional. It felt nice to lay there in silence and since it is the weekend I decided to say fuck it and fell back to sleep for an extra hour.

My initial wake time was so early that this extra-long nap didn't even take me out of my usual schedule. I went back to my computer to start my class but opted to do laundry instead. This was not a form of procrastination, in fact, I'd say it was the opposite as I've been pushing the limit with putting off laundry day for a little while. 

Gathering my clothes led to an entire cleaning session as I tidied up my entire room, yet another chore I've been putting off for far too long. I don't really mind the mess because so much of my time is spent looking at screens but I do feel life is cozier with a clean room. I should make a better effort to keep it this way but for some reason, it's not a priority to me even though I prefer to have a clean living space.

After cleaning my room and starting the wash, I decided to take a quick dip in the pool before finally getting to work on my next class. At this point, it was transitioning from early evening to late evening and I started to justify in my head how I could skip class having already had a day of accomplishment. I even sat at my computer and started to slack but the urge to learn kicked in so I logged in to my school and started to work.

Since I was so well rested from the extended nap, I managed to complete a large chunk of work before finally burning myself out to the point where I couldn't focus so I decided to call it a night. This is when I discovered "Try Not to Laugh" react videos. Though I usually find "Try Not to Laugh" compilation videos to be lame, I feel the addition of the react aspect leads to better quality control plus I the people reacting added to the challenge as I often found their reaction to the video as funny if not funnier than the featured clip.

Today I feel great. It's still the weekend so I can do all the fun stuff from yesterday minus all the chores. Keep in mind, I consider my class to be fun stuff so I won't just be wasting time even though time will definitely be wasted.

I'll let you know how things turn out tomorrow,

Talk to you then,
