week 10

Alright, I did it! I just got done with week 8. Hopefully John will stay on the same schedule so I can get week 9 done tonight before he posts week 10. That would be great. I am going to be caught up finally! Yeah!

I got up from the computer joyfully, and went to sit in my favorite brown chair to watch some T.V. Andrew was gone with his friends again so I had the whole apartment to myself. I plopped myself down, grabbed the gray remote, and pushed the red power button. With a two second delay the T.V. popped on. A hockey game. Wonderful. The only channel I have and hockey is on. I heaved my body out of the chair and crossed the room to my small movie selection.

What to watch, what to watch? I could watch Cinderella again. No, how about Harry Potter? No, the DVD played is sick of those. Not Another Teen Movie? No. Ah, I could watch The Fifth Element again. Alright, that sounds good.

I picked the DVD up, opened the case with a snap, took out the DVD, and put it in the player in the T.V. When I was reseated in my chair I pushed menu and then play on the remote. Salem curled up on the back of my chair and promptly fell asleep, his foot embedded in my neck.

After about an hour of watching the movie I decided I was ready to start again so I could get my work done. I plopped myself in front of the computer, scrolled down my bookmarked pages, and clicked on the link that would take me to my online class work. I waited impatiently for the page to load up while saying a silent prayer.

Oh please let him not post tonight. I want to be caught up again. Oh please, oh please.

As soon as the page loaded up my heart fell. Week 10 was there staring me in the face. All my determination to get caught up blown away. Another week of struggling to get to the computer to do two weeks work of school work loaming in my future.

I closed out of the internet in frustration, and went back to my brown chair to finish the movie.
