attempting to be productive

Since Friday, I have:
-watched 3 eps of Once Upon a Time (S3) and A Ballerina's Tale on Netflix
-washed 2 loads of laundry (who knows when they will be put away)
-slept A LOT
-went to Target (I was bored at home yesterday)
-started a rewatch of The Autobiography of Jane Eyre when I could not fall asleep last night
-graded a few papers, and avoided many others
-answered and sent a few work-related emails
-coughed
-changed the water in my bettas' homes
-looked online at homes for sale, cringing at the decor of most of them

I keep trying to get papers graded and work done, but my attention span on that is about 30 seconds. Still, I need to get this done before tomorrow, and also before Once Upon a Time comes on tonight. So I've heard on tumblr, we're going to get some Rumbelle tonight. Keeping fingers crossed.

What did you think of 'A Ballerina's Tale?' It's in my Netflix queue (but I'm not watching anything ballet for a good while...)

Since I'm currently obsessed with the New York City Ballet, it opened my eyes to how much lack of diversity there still is in elite ballet companies. Misty Copeland is with American Ballet Theater, also in NYC. It's sad to see hugely talented dancers stay in the lower ranks while white dancers get promoted. So, there is that aspect. On the other hand, I love seeing what it's really like to be a dancer - the injuries, the frustrations, day to day life, etc.
