Top Ten List: Changes During Finals

1. No more going out every night, granted, I will still go out a few nights a week, but only after a long productive day of studying.

2. When I start studying, I stop eating and take breaks to workout, which usually results in me losing around 10 pounds during finals. This makes me happy.

3. My apartment becomes immaculate, since I will do just about anything to avoid studying and cleaning my apartment and organizing is a good distraction.

4. I can finally say that I'm not smoking anymore, which will be weird, because it's very difficult not to smoke during finals.

5. I will spend most of my days at Panera studying. It's great, chai tea lattes, free pop refills and internet.

6. Getting up earlier in the day is a must, since I won't allow myself to go out at night without having gotten a productive day of studying in.

7. I will get very tan, because, again, I will find any excuse to take a break from studying, and in my mind, tanning is a valid excuse.

8. Jack gets a lot of Ally May time. Since I leave the house for up to 8-10 hours at a time to study, Megan and I usually arrange for the dogs to spend that time together so that neither of them get lonely.

9. Lots of blogging, myspacing and unnecessary taking of surveys. Again, to procrastinate.

10. No looking cute at all...no makeup, hair in ponytail, workout clothes. Although, this might not be at all since I might be temping at a law firm for the next 2 weeks. We'll see.
