I have two papers due next Friday (the 25th). One is a 12-14 page paper for my 500-level Contemporary Shakespeare Adaptations class. The second is a 5 page take-home final for my International Literature class. This is pretty slack compared to past semester end’s and is incredibly slack compared to a lot of other people who are different classes who have more exams and papers than I do. And as much as researching, thinking and writing should be #1on my list of priorities, I know that I will do a lot of procrastinating and I know I’m not alone. I also have a massage booked on Wednesday morning.

I will probably spend a lot of time on Facebook, a lot of time sleeping in, a lot of time watching useless TV, maybe I’ll blog a bit and a lot of time playing silly little games.

Here is a random smattering of games you may find me on:

DOWLOADABLE TIME MANAGEMENT GAMES:

I love time management games. I have even shelled out the $20.00 to buy them to own a couple of times after the one hour time limit has expired.

Jane’s Hotel Family Hero looks pretty cute.

This is the best time management game I’ve ever played. It is cartoon sitcom/game. And it incredibly funny. And there is a ton of variety. Incredibly addictive.

POINT-AND-CLICK GAMES:

Really cute and short. Help Anika save her bunny. Good for a short break.

Samorost. Very artsy. I’ve only spent a little bit of time on it so far. I’m saving it for a much needed break later on.

WORD GAMES:

Scramble is a Facebook application game where you compete to find more words on the board than your competitor. Spread the procrastination around and challenge your fellow students.

Improve your vocabulary and for every word you get right, Free Rice donates 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Programme to help end hunger! Procrastinate and feel good about it and help feed the world’s hungry! Feeding the hungry is arguably of greater importance than writing a paper or studying.

Another way to contribute to the UN World Food Programme more directly is through their “Fill the Cup” Program. Just 25 US cents fills “one of the “Red Cups” that the World Food Programme uses to give hungry children a regular school meal of porridge, rice or beans. US$15 would feed 10 children for a week.”
