Mea Culpa

Guess what I did today? That’s right, work.

I spent some time in an air conditioned library, working on my thesis AND blogging. Let me assure you that my multi-tasking skills are alive and well, though I had assumed atrophy after being out of work for so long.

But, the reason that I worked is that last night I did a bad thing. I played Civilization for two and a half hours. One hundred and fifty minutes of my life. I beat the game (by Domination Victory, for my fellow nerdlingers’ information)—that’s the good news. The bad news is that I ended up with a stiff neck, sore bum, and wicked headache.

So I went to bed feeling bad about so much time just plain old WASTED. But in the morning, after L tossed me in the shower and dragged me to school (somewhat against my will), I felt much better about my self.

This taught me that I should continue to do things I regret because guilt is my one and only motivation.
