Procrastination

I need to start my homework. I just got back from PA about two hours ago so I don't really want to. It's hard to get back into study mode after I've had a whole five days off. Ann Arbor was great. It was wonderful to relax. I burned twenty nine CD's from my cousin's husband extensive collection. I think next time I'm there I'm going to burn him collection of Beatles albums. I have several compilation CDs but I want the actual albums. My dad has them all on vinyl, but I want to be able to listen to them away from a record player. I saw Capote. It was excellent. It inspired me to read In Cold Blood which my cousin happened to have at her house. I'm borrowing the book for the week. It's very well written. It's crazy to keep having to remind myself that the book is not fiction. These murders actually happened and that the people Capote describes were actually once real, living people. I'm enjoying it. I hope I can finish it with all the homework I've got to do in these next few days. The trip with the roommate was lovely. We went bowling the first night. It was great because I actually bowled well. I rarely score over 100, even over 75, but for some reason I scored over a hundred for both games. I found my groove and was actually able to keep it up. Tuesday I went on a hike with a young gentleman. The area where he lives is absolutely beautiful! We climbed on rocks behind a waterfall. I had the wrong shoes on for the adventure so I could not do as much climbing and exploring as I would have liked. It was a good trip. It confirmed my prior feelings of not being ready for a relationship. I need time to be independent. I need to figure things out for myself. I need to not be attached to someone. That's why the event of last summer occurred...a lack of attachment was needed. I want to take full advantage of the opportunity that was given to me. This wouldn't be so hard if this gentleman were not so perfect. It's really just a bad time for me....it hasn't even been a year. I have always jumped from relationship to another and I can't do that this time. I have to be selfish for a change. My life was so much simpler in the fall when I had no attachments. That was the first time in five or six years that I have been totally independent and it was great. I never realized how complicated a relationship makes things until I was out of one for a while. Everything is easier. We are having barbecue chicken for dinner. I love barbecue chicken so I'm really excited. I can smell it cooking which means it will be ready soon. I should stop now.
