Sneaky JerkI am an idiot. That is a fact that has been proven time and time again. Most recently--Wait no, not most recently. I turned over an open box of cereal this morning to scan the UPC label on the bottom with my iPhone and spilled it everywhere, so just somewhat recently--my combination of clumsiness and carelessness lead me to re-injuring the sole of my foot last night. I can't remember exactly how I injured it the first time, but I know it was last week, and I remember being at Logan's Roadhouse with my friend Natalie and realizing it was bleeding. 

Anyway, the light switch in my bathroom is placed strangely. Rather than being right next to the door as you walk in, it's actually on the wall right across from the door. When I went into my bathroom to get something or to pee--or maybe even to poop, I don't know--I didn't bother turning the lights on in my bedroom first. I just walked through the dark straight to the bathroom. I then planned to walk right in and turn on the light, but instead I stepped on something. 

It was the plug for my hair dryer. And it was pointing straight up, laying in the middle of the floor, right between the door and the light switch. And I stepped on it. And I now have another hole in my foot.

Now, how does that prove I'm an idiot and not just careless? Because it's not the first time the exact same thing has happened. Also, because I didn't pick up my hair dryer, and because there's a really good chance it will probably happen again. See, idiot. Me. Yes.

Oh jeez. I am so behind on this whole blogging thing. Stuff I planned to do on a regular basis, I'm totally failing at. My monthly favorites and recommendations, I haven't done that since February. That was also the only time I ever did it. Making a new header each month, oops. I'm now nineteen days behind on that one too.

Is it procrastination? No, not really. More like forgetfulness, I suppose. So once again, I'm going to try and force myself to write daily, even if it's nothing more than a stupid rundown of what I did that day. *Yawn*

So what's new with me? Well, I'm still on my break before Summer semester starts at the beginning of June. I've also decided I'm going to get my MFA and teach art. (Did I already write about that before? I don't think I did.) That also means I am going to be in school forever. FOREEEEVVVERRRRRR. But that's okay. I've got more motivation and drive than ever now.

I've also recently accomplished a goal I set for myself a long time ago: learn how to fire a gun. I've been going to the range quite a bit lately, and now I'm just working on improving my accuracy. The .22's were crazy easy, so now I'm playing around with 9mm's, which are slightly more challenging and far more satisfying. Once I find my favorite, the next goal I've set for myself is to get my concealed weapons permit. 

So far the theme for this entry seems to be goals, so let's keep that going.
