The art of procrastination

Weather: foggy and cold (snow predicted)
Temp: 0 to 4
Exchange rate: RMB1 = R1,55 (ouch)
Ruby Tuesday: This is a carpet in a lift. It is changed everyday to show that it's been cleaned and rotated, hence the day woven into the carpet. Only in China...

Yesterday I took my procrastination to new heights. Here's what I was supposed to do:

• Practice my Mandarin characters
• Practice my Mandarin reading
• Practice my Mandarin pronunciation
• Learn Mandarin vocab
• Respond to a career coach
• Wash the dishes
• Do some laundry
• Tidy the house
• Prepare for class
• Teach class

Not a long or complicated list by any one's standards. Here's what I ended up doing:

• Prepare for class
• Teach class
• Watch 10 episodes of Heroes till 1 in the morning
• Read this new blog I discovered. Ok, look at the picture cause it's in Danish or Swedish...

I really need to be more focused (now there's an understatement).

On my new second favourite blog I found this: Guerrilla gardening- graffiti with nature; "without permit or license, we plant seeds and seedlings in all those neglected corners of public space. Join us as we vandalise the city with nature!"
I love the idea of randomly scattering seeds around the city that will turn into beautiful flowers. I see some guerrilla gardening in my future.
