I check the forum every 10 minutes, run upstairs and see if the gemmae have done anything in the 5 minutes since I last checked them, send intermedia SASEs, do this, read the physics text book, make myself go running so I can get some exercise, go on walks to the "secret sphagnum forest," think about doing homework, think about practicing instruments, try to savor the fact that I have no obligation at the moment (though usually I do,) try not to think about penguins, try to have a staring contest with my reflection, check facebook a million times, play bejeweled, and sleep.
