every day, once a day, give yourself a present.

This week I spent all day long watching Twin Peaks and doing nothing else. Yesterday I reminded myself, that I should probably watch less Twin Peaks and care a bit more about my social life. There are some emails I actually WANT to answer and I feel terribly bad about not reading and commenting at my favorite blogs. So my next plan after Twin Peaks is caring about my social life. Which will probably be tomorrow. I'm only 5 episodes away from the Twin Peaks finale and we all can be glad (in this case) that Twin Peaks has only two seasons.
Although I loved the series I'm looking forward to the end. Not only because of my social life, also because it keeps me awake all the time and I kinda want to go to bed before 1:30 in the morning again. Would be nice. Just saying. Also watching a series like Twin Peaks, which has some mysterious, scary (only scary at night) elements in it, late at night is not a good idea. Yesterday night a silverfish fell from the ceiling on my arm while watching Twin Peaks and I almost screamed and jumped out of bed. Dangerous stuff.

Other than that I don't do much. I'm still trying to figure out what to study, but I have to be honest, I don't spend much time thinking about it or actually trying to find a solution (damn you, time-consuming Twin Peaks!). The only thing I do is panic once a day and write a Tweet about my panic. I have 13 days left to make decision.
What I started to think about instead is school. Now that I'm away from it my aversion is even bigger. While I was at school I disliked it, because struggeled quite a lot and had enough of this whole circus. Now I could talk for hours about how crappy the Austrian school system is and complain about our messed up society.
School (at least my school) is pretty messed up. There's a lot that should be different and I'm not a fan of the school system of the US, but there are some things I like about it (small things) and we should also look a bit to Germany and maybe all the other countries and start to teach our students something instead of just bringing them through school, no matter how.
I'm planning on writing a blog post about something similar to that. About our messed up universities (yes, everything's messed up). They are far away from perfect.
Maybe deep inside I currently complain that much about school and university because I'm looking for something that's the reason for my messed up self. Not that I can feel that, but who knows what's going on deep inside of us.
Now that I think about it, why shouldn't I be messed up? School is a mess, university is mess, this only leads to me being a mess....whatever.
Bye. I have some Twin Peaks to watch.

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."
