The Winter of My Discontent

Total number of times people have assumed I'm gay since starting to write here: 8 and counting...

Name:
Location: Everett, Washington, United States

I am a dedicated futurist and a strong supporter of the transhumanist movement. For those who know what it means, I am usually described as a "Lawful Evil" with strong tendencies toward "Lawful Neutral." Any apparent tendencies toward the 'good' side of the spectrum can be explained by the phrase: "A rising tide lifts all boats."

Why Mondays are the best day of all

I love Mondays this semester. In fact, I wish I had more days during the week just like today.

My Monday starts out with a single class at the law school, and then I come home for the rest of the day. I don't have to go anywhere else. I don't have to be anywhere else. I don't have to do anything else. And, of course, I'm lazy enough to admit that I refuse to do any homework on Monday.

Being left to my own devices is great. I enjoy being able to take a long nap around 1:00 pm when I normally get a little dropsy. I can play World of Warcraft online for 6 hours straight and don't feel like I'm wasting my time while waiting for my next class to start. I can watch a movie with the lights off in the middle of the daytime, just because I can, and nobody can tell me differently.

I would much rather have my Saturdays and Sundays operate like my Mondays than how they work now. As it is, nothing makes me get out of bed on the weekends, so I sleep in late. How much better would it be if I were required to get up for a 9:00 class or something on each of those days and then take the rest of the day off? And that plan has another advantage, too... I'd have two fewer classes to go to during the week sometime. Fabulous.

On a positive note, I did all of those things today. Mixing my favorite game with my favorite movie, and shoving a 3.5 hour nap in there somewhere makes for a mostly satisfied guy. And to be even more upbeat, I normally have two classes on Thursday (the same class I have on Monday morning plus another later in the afternoon). My afternoon class has been canceled that day, so Thursday will be a repeat of Monday this week, and, once again, I will have a day entirely left to my whims.
