Take a quiz to find out my spiritual beliefs

Today instead of homework, I found out what I apparently believe in. On beliefnet.com, there's a quiz to find out which religions/belief systems you match up best with. I've taken it three or four times. Usually, I get 100% liberal quaker. I have no clue what that is. Today, though, liberal quaker was bumped down to 99% and Unitarian Universalism was bumped up to 100%. Wooooo big changes. Here's my break-down

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (99%)
3. Neo-Pagan (94%)
4. Mahayana Buddhism (91%)
5. New Age (91%)
6. Theravada Buddhism (87%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (83%)
8. Secular Humanism (80%)
9. Taoism (74%)
10. Reform Judaism (72%)
11. Jainism (67%)
12. New Thought (63%)
13. Baha'i Faith (62%)
14. Orthodox Quaker (61%)
15. Sikhism (59%)
16. Scientology (57%)
17. Hinduism (56%)
18. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (50%)
19. Nontheist (48%)
20. Orthodox Judaism (36%)
21. Seventh Day Adventist (31%)
22. Islam (29%)
23. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (29%)
24. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (27%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (23%)
26. Roman Catholic (23%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (14%)

Research my ancestry

Today instead of doing homework, I created an ancestry.com account and started researching my family heritage. I specifically focused on my maternal grandmother's side of the family, because I already knew enough about that side that I could fill in a few names to get me started. I found out that her dad's side of the family is almost exclusively German and Norweigan, with a little bit of French and Danish. I'd already known that, but it was cool to see when everyone arrived in American. My grandma's mom's side of the family was more difficult to trace. They're Irish, and I already knew that, and I also found that there's a bit of German there, too. The most exciting thing I found, though, (which neither me nor my grandma knew about before), was that on my grandma's grandma's side of the family, we have ancestors who have been in America since the 1650's! They came from England way back when America was still a colony of England. That's pretty exciting! It's also taken me hours to find, which has helped procrastinate a lot.

Made my skirt twirl

Today instead of doing homework, I danced around my room making my skirt twirl.

I have 30 pages to read before being quizzed on them tomorrow morning. So of course I decided to go shopping instead. So I went to my local thrift store, and found an adorable dress. I just had to buy a pair of shoes to go with it, and then add some things I already owned and now I have a super cute outfit.

But instead of doing my reading when I got back from shopping, I got all dressed up in my new outfit. And then I twirled around a bit. And GUESS WHAT?! It's one of those SUPER twirly skirts. Like SUPER twirly. Like I'd have to wear leggings under the skirt if I was gonna twirl it in public. It prolly looks sorta like this when it twirls:

(DISCLAIMER: I have no idea who that is actually a picture of. I just got it off google to try to represent the degree of twirly-ness of my new dress)



WHEEEEEE!

That kept me busy for a while.

And now I'm writing this post.

And still havent started my reading.

Create a Countdown

Today instead of doing homework, I went through my planner and counted down the days til classes end for the semester. Then I wrote the countdown in my planner, number May 4th (the last day of classes) as "1", and going backwards til today, which is 80. So 80 days left til summer! woooo!

Think about my soul

Today instead of doing homework, I created a post on my other blog (http://learning-how-to-live-life.blogspot.com/) about the concept of a soul, and about my soul. And here's the post:

Learning How to Live: What drains your soul? What recharges it?: "From 'The Brain & The Soul' section of 'SoulPancake': What drains your soul? What recharges it? What is the soul? Can you kill your soul..."

Write a poem

Today instead of doing homework between classes, I pretended it was the day of my graduation from college, and I wrote this silly (and not very good) poem about school. It's called "Graduation Poem". Creative, right?

For as long as I can remember
the year has started in early September.
From young school days on the tire swings
to the college years, learning "grown-up" things,
we've counted our years academically.
The year didn't start in January.
We counted the months by how many of the nine
were left until it was summertime.
Weeks were numbered by how many it would take
until it was finally time for spring break.
Days dragged on til the last bell would ring.
We worshiped that bell like a king.
Hours were counted one through eight
(well, one for each class period, at any rate).
But now college is through, and so I fear
it's time to learn the real length of a year.
No more summers wandering free,
those three months of bliss are history.
We'll never again get a month off for Christmas.
Man, I am really going to miss this.
We'll work 9 to 5 and have no fall break.
Maybe graduating college is a mistake.
But wait, what's this? There's a loop hole, you see,
for I've decided teaching is the career for me!

Take a quiz to find my perfect match.

Instead of studying for tomorrow's math quiz, I took a quiz online to find out which of the characters in the office is my perfect match. I got Jim, yay!

Create this Blog

I feel like the title really gets to the essence of it pretty well...basically, I don't like doing my homework. Lately, I've been finding more and more ways to put it off. Creating this blog is one of them. Now that it's made, I'll use it to record all the different things I come up with. Wooo!
