A Power Outage

Today was one of those incredibly busy days that I should have been stressed about, but was gratefully not. Needless to say, when I arrived home at 5:45 I made my dinner, and plopped on the couch. Have not really moved since then. It is now 11:45. I halfheartedly did a bit of studying to feel somewhat productive. Whenever i have a busy day like this, I get home and think that none of my other work matters... Whennnn it does. Tonight I was sitting on the couch, ready to open a book and the power went out. You should have seen how quickly the excuses to not study came out. My roommate started lighting some candles, but i claimed the candles were "too dim to study by". And then the next thought that came to mind was "I have wine in the refrigerator!" We can see how this power outage quickly shifted my priorities from studying to alcohol abuse... I was so ready to ditch those books and finish that bottle. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it) the power came back on and I put the bottle away and took my books back out. But it makes me wonder... what kind of person would I be without the lights on?
