Waking up this morning sucked. I ended up staying up a little later after I got home because I started watching a Ricky Gervais special on TV. Always funny but I probably should have just gone to sleep. Live and learn.

I woke up with a headache behind my left eye, which seems to be a popular spot for my headaches recently. It stuck with me for the rest of the morning and I spent a lot of the first part of my day at work sitting in the dark with my eyes closed. Thankfully it eventually went away.

After I had recovered, I got a start on my last reflective journal entry. I did a lot of reading in my textbook as well as a bunch of online articles I had saved about net neutrality. By the end of my shift I had managed about 500 words on net neutrality. Not a bad start.

I spent my breaks playing a bit of Minecraft. I had it running in the background the whole time so my crops and trees would grow. So when I needed a break I would just run around and harvest everything and then go back to reading and writing. I decided I want to make a giant wall map in the basement of my house. Or maybe in a cool room near the beginning of the cave beneath my basement because I don't know how big of a map I will actually need in the end. I'm surrounded by a lot of ocean.

Near the end of my shift I was still trying to read but kept getting distracted by thoughts of having Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner. This distraction lead to less than stellar reading comprehension so took another break and texted my friend about my thoughts of food. She asked if I was thinking of my dinner in a good way or in a “God I'm so full” way. And my response was “The former, but in half an hour I plan on partaking in a journey that will lead me to the latter.” I was instantly a fan of that response.

And speaking of dinner, it was delicious. I also finally finished the piece of chocolate pie I started eating on Thursday but wasn't able to finish because I had too much for dinner. My sister knocked the chocolate pie out of the park this year. It is really good.

After dinner I dragged the Christmas tree up from the basement and then helped my mom put it together. It was heavy as hell but it went together easily so I can't complain too much.

When I was done with that I tried to work on my reflective journal entry. I got distracted by a Foo Fighters documentary and I really didn't know what I wanted to write about after the net neutrality thing. I threw together another paragraph but I'm pretty sure I'll have to delete it and start again tomorrow because it really felt disjointed as I was trying to string it together. So that's something to look forward to tomorrow. But I should be able to wrap it up tomorrow. Then I'll be able to spend the week editing the whole thing and have it ready by Friday. I'm getting there.
