I find it amazing how much more homework I get done when I sit outside. Literally I actually get stuff accomplished when the sun is shining down on me and I sip my coffee. Lately my favorite spot is right outside the Curb Event Center on the Belmont Boulevard side, right across from Circle K and Bongo Java. Occasionally I go into Chick Fil A which is right inside the Curb Cafe and get a sweet tea or fries or both depending on my hunger level. But sometime last week I discovered that I wasn't getting as much homework done that I needed too. Then I discovered that I get bored just sitting in my dorm room. So I took action and perused campus in search of the perfect studying spot. On Saturday I sat in one of the gazebos and read 12 Years a Slave and didn't get much done. Probably because it was right after I watched the Texas Tech/Arkansas game and was pissed beyond belief.
A majority of y'all probably don't know this but my grandpa Len went to Tech so the past couple of years we always talked about their football team. And then last season Kliff Kingsbury returned to coach and my God if you don't know who I'm talking about, then go Google him and all his glory. But last season was the last my grandpa would be able to watch the games, obviously none of us knew that at the time. But we would watch them when he was in the nursing home and I would 'joke' about marrying Kliff, and I use joke loosely here people. I told my grandfather that I would marry Kliff in a country themed wedding in a barn, and I plan on sticking to that promise even if it lands me in jail (kidding...). So I've followed Tech mainly because of the beautiful creature that is Kliff Kingsbury, but also because it reminds me of my grandpa. And he actually understood my craziness about football and Kliff. So anyways I live streamed the game on Saturday and was quite disappointed in Davis Webb and the defense. I even wore my grandpa's Tech shirt to bring luck, but obviously that didn't work.
So I went to the gazebo, and read but I just kept getting distracted. So I went to dinner then back to my room to get my laptop and went out again in search of the perfect spot. It had to be outside though because Saturday was a beautiful day here in Music City. It was like 70 degrees, no humidity, and slightly overcast: perfect in my book!
Yesterday it was the same weather so once again I went back to my spot and accomplished a lot! I was pretty proud of myself. I got a lot done that is pretty important so I was quite happy with myself. Then today I went back and read more in 12 Years a Slave and actually read almost 100 pages in a 2 hour span, so needless to say I will continue to do homework outside. I function better apparently out there in the real world. Tonight I got done more homework and am not as far behind as I was before so I am quite happy.
Now I'm going to go write Kliff a letter declaring my love for him ;) Please pray that it doesn't get me arrested!
