homework

It was six o'clock and she should really be starting her homework.

She was a little hungry, but having actually eaten lunch that day she decided to put it off.

She surfed the internet, catching up on the threads she missed while in class. An interesting discussion on fandom, another on pairings. Oh, look, a new chapter in her inbox.

It was eight thirty and she should really be starting her homework.

It was eight forty-five and she made an attempt to start her homework.

She opened to a fresh page in her graph paper/math notebook, sketched a diamond, inscribed a narwhal curled within. She changed the dimensions a bit. She decided to go to Rite Aid and finally get that plunger to finally fix that clogged toilet.
