Productivity! for the most part...

Today has been a day of productivity for me. First of all, I woke up feeling a million times better, compared to the death-warmed-over state I was in yesterday. So, I decided to keep my promise to myself and get my homework done at the beginning of Spring Break so I could enjoy the rest of my time off doing nothing. That's right... nothing. To a nursing major, sitting around doing nothing is heaven. So, at 10:30 this morning, I packed up my laptop and books and headed to Panera, where I enjoyed an asiago cheese bagel, a time of peace and quiet, and great productivity. I got so much done, but my battery was dying, so I decided to head home.

On my way home I ran to the grocery store to pick up dinner for me and Tamra tonight. We always cook dinner together, and tonight's theme is dinner for breakfast. Its going to be a tasty meal followed by Northanger Abbey. I've been getting Tamra to work her way through the Jane Austen movies and this was the next on the list.

Since the store, I've been working on homework in my apartment, enjoying the music of a strategically created playlist on my iTunes and even making Thank You photo cards for my ISP donors. So from 10:30 until 3:45 I was possibly more productive than I've ever been in my life. Until, somehow, I was distracted with the idea to re-watch North & South.


North & South is a mini-series made by BBC in 2004, based upon Elizabeth Gaskell's novel. It follows the gut-wrenching love story of Margaret Hale, a woman from South London, who uproots with her family and moves to North London, where she meets John Thornton, a local cotton mill-owner. The two of them have completely opposing views of society and how it should be run,but of course, in a Pride & Prejudice-like manner, they become conflictingly attracted to each other. All I'm saying, is you should check it out.

Aren't you just dying to watch it already?!?

I'm a little bit hooked on it. It may have something to do with the fact that I'm slowly falling for Richard Armitage, who plays John Thornton. My love for him began with my love for another BBC series... Robin Hood. If I were to go into my love for that show, it would take me too long, so take my word for it and check that out too.

Alas, I must set aside my desire to re-watch this masterpiece and get back to business again. 45 minutes was a good break, but it's back to the grind for me...
