I sat down to study and started by going over the spreadsheet that my friend John helped with me with. Then I remembered that John's wife is going to have her baby before we start Econ together in July. I decided that figuring out WACC could wait, and that I should make him some booties.
When I finished the booties I remembered that I had completed 1 1/2 claw mittens. I decided that finishing the mitten would be like cleaning up. After all, I could put the yarn away when I was done. So I finished the mittens. Unfortunately, mitten 2 is much better than mitten 1, so I'm going to have to make mitten 3. The yarn is still out, but I have resisted making mitten 3 so far. I would like to say that it's because I'm focusing on studying, but really, I'm working on the Hawkeye scarf.
I like the Hawkeye scarf, because it is pretty mindless knitting. I am going to hold off finishing it so I have something to work on tonight while watching Cops.
It wasn't just knitting that has been distracting me. Yesterday I wasted time by baking cookies. This morning I started out the day by making brunch for my aunt and cousins. This afternoon I'm going to whip up a fresh batch of granola. I am also going to get some studying done.
I think I'm going to have to go to the coffee shop to study. I have far too many distractions at home.

Yeah for procrastination! Sometimes, nothing beats it. :-) Ugh to finance.
BTW, that claw mitten freaks me out. I think wearing it would make me feel like a cartoon character.
Isn't that always the way. I'm at home for a much needed "day off" and finding 4bazillion things I "should" be doing. Bah! Oh and if you have a good granola recipe hook a sista up... the last time I tried it I got a bunch of burned oats. Not yummy.
There is totally nothing wrong with procrastinating. I did the same thing yesterday--skipped bootiful disc golf playing weather to "stay home and clean," but the Cubs were on and my sock really needed to be worked on.
So, yeah ... you can stay up late to study, right? I mean, how much more are you going to learn in a few days, right?

Isn't it amazing what you can get done when you are avoiding doing work? The booties, lobster claws and scarf all look great. Good luck on the exam!
I'm so jealous of the aunt and cousins who got to enjoy your company (and your brunch). I'll be sending positive Finance energy out your way tomorrow...
Hooray for procrastination! I just finished reviewing the last quiz at 10:15 tonight. Shoot - we've still got 20 hours before the exam. We can cram whole BUNCHES of knowledge (and knitting!) into the next 20 hours. Good luck tomorrow!
I would also like a granola recipe.
Sorry I missed brunch. I'm proud of you. You make not studying for an exam sound like a very logical thing to do. (Did you go to Iowa)? Of course you should do those other things. They are very important!
