Justifications

(1) I studied for three hours (although I got nothing done)
Thus: I deserve to take the rest of the night off

(2) I will work really hard this weekend
Thus: I don't have to work on my papers tonight

(3) It is raining
Thus: I don't have to run

(4) It is 9pm
Thus: There is no reason to start working because I will only get 2 hours in before I go to sleep so I should just watch LOTR again instead

(5) It is late in the quarter
Thus: I deserve to eat x (where x includes, but is not limited to: Oatmeal Cream Pies, Mountain Dew, Pizza, Chilis, Sixlets, Butter, Iced Chai Latte, Fig Newtons)

(6) I have to write my paper
Thus: I don't have to do my reading: see (2)

(7) I have an outline written
Thus: My paper will really only take 2 hours to put together so: see (2)

(8) I'm whiny
Thus: I don't have to have any social interaction whatever

(9) I'm grumpy
Thus: I can wear jammies to class

(10) 1-10
Thus: I can blog instead of working.
