Jennifer and I had planned on going to Stratford today. I wanted to go because if you get to the box office early enough, there are still tickets for King Lear with Ian McKellan. Jennifer just wanted to go to Stratford. Well the transportation from Oxford to Stratford has apparently been decreased recently. There were buses at 9 a.m. and 3. The buses back were at 2:15 and 5:20. So the King Lear option was out, unless we wanted to pay a lot more to take the train and then we might have still been too late. Apparently people line up really early. So we were just going to spend the day there, but then Jennifer’s alarm didn’t go off, so she woke up at 9. Going at 3, we would get there by 4:30 and then have to leave by 5:20, and I just really don’t want to spend the extra money to ride the train. So now we might go to Blenheim Palace. I made a picnic lunch, so I don’t want it to go to waste. Or maybe we’ll go to the Botanic Gardens or something. I was thinking about taking Melissa and Christi to Blenheim on Monday when they’re here, so two times in one week might be a little much for me. We’ll see.

So now I’m sitting in my room wondering what to do with my time. I got my essay done early, so I could turn it in before we left. It had to be in by 5 today. But I sent it in at 8:45 this morning. I could go back and revise it because it was longer than he wants it, but I told him I was gone for the day, so he won’t know the difference, and in some ways, it just seems it would be a waste of time. It would still say the same stuff, just taking out some words or maybe just cutting a paragraph that will be useful to me later, but he just might not want. So I’m just leaving it. I might start my other essay, get it done early too, maybe. Although I will probably just continue to procrastinate. I wish there were a cure for procrastination. Maybe there is: having a roommate who gets everything done early, so you feel guilty and get stuff done early too. I had planned on not doing work today, so that makes me not want to do work even more. Maybe I’ll do some more planning for Europe instead. It will be nice in a couple weeks when I don’t have essays looming over me.
