November – Day 10


Blog / Thursday, November 10th, 2011

When this crazy month is over, I’ll sleep. Or I’ll wait until I’m dead. Whichever comes first. I was seeing double today while I was walking from the teacher’s lounge to class.

I haven’t had a chance to work on my NaNoWriMo project yet today, Rose came over to use my oven and I wasn’t going to ignore her when she’s returning home in two weeks. I’m going to try to churn out at least 1,000 words tonight like I did last night. More if I can. Last night my computer distracted me, tonight I’m not bringing it into my room with me.

I looked in the mirror just now and I noticed that my Movember mustache is starting to fill out. Maybe by the end of the month it will look nice and I’ll consider leaving it a little longer. Or, maybe I’ll come out of this insanity of sleep deprivation and come to my senses about mustaches.

I’m really not looking forward to class tomorrow. My first lesson was cancelled which was nice, but it will be a long day regardless. I’ll be a little better prepared than usual.

Finally, for my 30 Day Challenge, today I should to memorize “If”. While I see the merit in this task, I decided that it wasn’t for me. Two reasons, I’ve never been great at memorizing things unless their of no importance (movies, songs, television, etc.). I’ve never had the brain for it and a there is a possible reason addressed in the post. You could argue that it’s all the more important that I do this task, to work on my memorization but it would bring me to my second reason for not wanting to. I don’t like poetry. I’d be much happier memorizing some prose. My mind blanks when I read poetry. Prose, far less often.

All that being said, I did try the brute force method of memorization one time through and I like the concept. If, in the future, I need to memorize something I’ll try to turn to this method.

Ok, time to write and then time to sleep.
