Productivity and Music

I'm being really productive so far today!  I think it does help when I sit in my living room instead of my bedroom; I seem to be more focused out here than I am in there, for various reasons.  It is just really nice to be able to sit out here with my music and everything.  I don't know.  Maybe because it is brighter out here than in my room?  I usually keep my blinds closed and all my furniture is black (which I love aesthetically and all), so my room tends to be very dark.  Which I love, but maybe it isn't the best motivator to do work and everything.

I have also just bought three Bouncing Souls albums, because I figured I can spoil myself with more music (I might cave and buy the rest of the albums too, aha).  I did think about just torrenting them, but then I felt bad because I've been really trying to adhere to a 'no pirating' rule for a while now when it comes to a lot of my music, especially with bands that aren't as big.  I'd rather just help them out and give them money and support them and all!  It hurts my wallet a little more, but hey, it helps the band, and I like that.  And I am pretty sure buying a cd is less helpful than going to a concert and all (which I really want to do more of), but it is still more helpful than not buying it?  I've been told by some people who are really into music that they think it is cool I buy most of my stuff and everything.

I think I have an article I want to review for my Methods class, so I can talk to my professor tomorrow about that.  I might also ask him about what I can do to try and handle game theory, since it really is a big problem for me and I don't know what I can do to try and calm myself down during it.  Brendan and I remarked that he is like...the department dad, in that he is always asking us how we're doing and is super friendly and everything.  So I might just ask and see what he says?  He might tell me basically to just suck it up, but...I don't know.  Maybe I'll tell him a little bit of my inner problems (not too much to make it uncomfortable) so that maybe he would understand where I'm coming from?  I don't know.  I just don't want to be seen as a slacker who doesn't want to do the work and everything, because that isn't it at all.

Bahhhh, decisions.  Freaking out about little things, aha.

Brendan told me that my response paper to Mayhew was really good and well-argued, which calmed me down about that.  I'm hoping my professor will really like it also!  I feel like I had good points, but I never think I convey them well, and I am always afraid I might have missed something here or there.
