Okay, I'll try making this as quick as possible. I reserve the weekends to write additional chapters to my book, and my book is something that is very important to me. Today's Saturday, meaning, I would normally write today. But here's what was also supposed to happen today:I was supposed to do something with a friend, any friend, as an acquaintance that I was looking forward to very, VERY much. I was supposed to go to this brunch thing with my parents. I was supposed to plan out an essay due monday and write it on Sunday.Now, here's what actually happened:I was supposed to go with my cousin first. But she decided not to come at the last minute after speaking with her through the phone after brunch, which started at 12:30- 3:30 (which is moderately dark in NY in the wintertime). So I'm all, okay, fine, I'll just call my other friends to go. So I try the ones I'd like to go with - they all neglect to pick up their phones. So I try calling some other friends, but before I can, my battery runs out. So I'm pretty pissed, and to make it even worse my parents are, need I say it, bitching at me about how I shouldn't even go outside since my foot is healing from a torn ligament (which, by the way, is almost done anyway and I can walk just fine) and also says that I'm going to get sick because it's so cold and all that crap in what is the RUDEST, most NON-COOPERATIVE tone I've ever heard. So now I'm really just angered because the day is not going the way I expected it to be. And now I get home, lie down for an hour, don't even feel like calling my friends because I'm just so angered I am no longer excited about the stupid thing I wanted to do and decided okay, well now I have to write.But I don't know. I'd like to write... I'd like to be able to write, but after all that happened today, I don't know if I should. I'm not at the calmest state, and I also have to do that stupid thing tomorrow (which, god knows, I probably won't succeed the goal I plan by going and just get mor pissed) as well as write a stupid report on DNA. A part of me feels obliged to write, and another feels as though I should take a rest and cool down and then those two conflict with each other and cause me to waste even more time and get me even more stressed.So here's my question: do you think I should write?
-
To Write or Not To Write?
-
Er, I don't understand why you even have to ask.If you're not going out, then write. It's not like you're doing anything else now, since your plans changed. Cool off for a bit and get to work.
-
But I'm not sure I feel like doing something productive now that my day's expectations have been screwed over.
-
It seems like you're a very organized person who likes to plan out things (writing every weekend, etc.)Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Are you just mad because things didn't go as planned? So your friends couldn't do anything today. Oh well.So your parents care about you. That must be horrible.I don't see any other reason for you being mad other than things didn't go as planned..
-
I actually am very organized and yes, I guess you can say it didn't go as planned, but it's not really so much as the fact that it didn't go as the way I planned it, it was more of "these events that are happening aren't very well easily worked with" because working on my book requires a clear mind and an okay day, which didn't happen.To Helms: I guess I can do all those things... but then there's that feeling of obligation for the book. x.x I never actaully take a day to "chill," unless that counts going outside, but I haven't done that either for the past few weeks.
-
I guess... so :T Okay, all right. I'll try everything tomorrow x.x Thanks for talking with me, guys.

"these events that are happening aren't very well easily worked with"Feel free to elaborate on this if you wish

I meant that when I got home, it was all ready 4:30 and I like to get to bed at a certain time and I was still contemplating whether or not if I should go by myself rather with someone else, taking an hour of my time, and even if I did go, that would also take another hour or two, and then I would have to go home and rest for another hour before I am ready to write, and then I had to plan out an essay which takes about a half hour and free time. This said, I was thinking to myself that I wanted to do a lot of things in a set amount of time that I didn't have the time for. Tomorrow was not an option because tomorrow was write-up day for the essay., but looks like I had to make it that way.
