Guilty citizen of the ProcrastiNation right here, everybody.<\/p>\r\n

I\u2019ve got an exam tomorrow, lecture notes and several hundred pages of readings to re-revise, and definitions to repeat over and over to myself until I sound like a broken record.<\/p>\r\n

And yet, at this moment, I am doing none of those things. Instead, I\u2019m sitting here making a list.<\/p>\r\n

As I\u2019ve mentioned before<\/a>, I do love my lists.\u00a0I\u2019m already anticipating the end of my last exam this week and daydreaming about all the wonderful glorious things I could do in the time I\u2019m spending buried nose-deep in readings.<\/p>\r\n

So, out of this particular procrastination episode (or \u2018study break\u2019 as I like to call them), came a\u00a0very detailed to-do list about what I plan to do after my last exam is over, which, for your amusement, I'll be sharing\u00a0here.<\/p>\r\n

THINGS TO DO AFTER LAST EXAM:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. Whoop. Laugh. Cry. Vindictively make confetti out of exam question paper.<\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Clean up mess created by said \u2018confetti\u2019.<\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Gather up all the textbooks littering bedroom, and shove them in a drawer somewhere out of sight. See you in January,\u00a0Calculus II.<\/i>\u00a0Mwahahahaha<\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Open up laptop and begin the oh-so-satisfying process of closing the 382626 open tabs of readings on Chrome.\u00a0\"<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t
  5. Start cleaning neglected bedroom and attempt to return it to a space fit for human habitation.<\/li>\r\n\t
  6. (Cross fingers and hope that that scarf you lost last week will appear somewhere in your cupboard flotsam.)<\/li>\r\n\t
  7. Marvel at clean bedroom.<\/li>\r\n\t
  8. Sit on newly made bed and catch up with friends and family back home on Skype.<\/li>\r\n\t
  9. Make plans to visit the Toronto Christmas Market<\/a> with friends! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"Screen<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t
  10. \u00a0Check out the beautiful holiday lights at Bloor-Yorkville<\/a>. Ooh and aah and take a billion pretty bokeh<\/em> photos.\r\n\r\n

  11. Spontaneously consider signing up for the Toronto Polar Bear Dip<\/a> and taking \"<\/span>a daring plunge in\u00a0the icy waters of Lake Ontario<\/em>\" as your initiation into Canadian society.<\/li>\r\n\t
  12. Come to your senses, realize that you have zero cold tolerance and that your frozen blue corpse will have to be fished out from the bottom\u00a0of the lake.<\/li>\r\n\t
  13. Opt\u00a0for ice-skating at Nathan Phillips Square<\/a> instead!<\/li>\r\n\t
  14. Click attending on the Home Alone Quote-Along<\/a>\u00a0event. Be very excited.\r\n\r\n
    \"ahh,<\/a>
    ahh, holidays.

  15. Catch up on novel reading and allllllllll your TV shows. Ten episodes later, feel a bit guilty and maybe consider doing a few\u00a0course readings for next year too.<\/li>\r\n\t
  16. Reward yourself for being mature and forward-thinking by making some Instagram-worthy hot chocolate.<\/li>\r\n\t
  17. Take in some holiday classics (Edward Scissorhands<\/em> just never gets old)<\/li>\r\n\t
  18. \u00a0And most importantly, breathe in the crisp cool air (thank heavens for the milder winter this year), relax and enjoy yourself these holidays- you've earned it!<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\r\n

    The\u00a0same goes for everyone\u00a0out there reading this! Study hard, do your best and get through those exams\u00a0so you can get started on your own winter itinerary!<\/p>\r\n

    Now, I guess I should\u00a0get back to those readings, *sigh*<\/p>\r\n

    Until next time, U of T,.... bon<\/em> chance<\/em> and happy holidays!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
