Procrastination is my worst enemy . . .

. . . but I'm doing overall pretty well at warding it off.  Today I did laundry, but other than that I've basically been shut up in my room, trying to finish the next spread for my book.

Highlights of the day were:
1) Marni came by to borrow some change for her laundry and to inform me and Indra that she found a tick on her from our jaunt in the meadow yesterday.  We all proceeded to check one another's hair after that, just to make sure we didn't have any unwelcome little critters hiding there!  Didn't find any, so hopefully we're all good.  Indra did say, though, that ticks don't really carry diseases in this region like they do in some places, so if we were to find any on us, it wouldn't be much of a concern.  Marni says to just put oil on them and they'll suffocate . . . I've heard peanut butter works too.
2) Accidentally washed out my paintbrush in my teacup.  I knew that if I went on with the habit of drinking tea while doing watercolors, it was bound to happen sooner or later!

Took way too many snack breaks.  I had the munchies big-time this afternoon (which is why I was drinking tea, to try and ward them off!).  Been listening to podcast episodes of Adventures in Odyssey and a free audiobook version of Anne of Green Gables on YouTube to pass the time.

I just have to say, I'm glad I'm not like Anne in the story, cramming for exams in history, Latin, and arithmetic to get into an academy.  Being an art student is definitely more fun--I can't really complain about my finals consisting of nothing but drawing and painting work!
