To do lists and the lack there of...

So the last two weeks have been a bit of a blur. Labor day, homecoming, progress reports. It seems like my time has been measured out for me. I decided that tonight I should start taking some time to get the stuff done I've had to put off for the last few weeks. I decided to head to Panera, eat a yummy dinner, and cross off all of the stuff on my to do list. Here I sit, 2 hours later. And you know what I can cross off my list? "es." Yep--that's it. Instead of having inboxes to empty, I now just have one inbox that is overflowing with overdue emails. The weirdest part is the stuff I spent time replying to, deleting and moving around. I went backwards in time and watched a relationship in reverse, from the last email we swapped to the first awkward "let's do dinner." It was weird to think about the emotions, thoughts, etc that went into those emails and how all of that flips around. I doubt this is interesting to anyone else, but it's just so strange to go back and think about the way things were as compared to how they are now. It's not really sad or depressing, just strange. I'm always a bit fascinated by the way human emotions can change so quickly and without real warning. At least it's a change of emotions. I think the worst is when the relationship is gone but the feelings are still lingering. Well--that's all I have to say. I have 30 minutes before I'm forcing myself to go run--motivated partly by the pre-running Laurel pictures I also found lurking in my inbox. I better get back to filtering through old emails.
