five things to do besides study

1) Stare out my window into a high-traffic alley. I saw a car side-swipe a trash can earlier and knock off its mirror. Now I listen to the crunching of glass and plastic every time another car drives over it.
2) ... facebook ... damn you.
3) Look up lyrics to the (not so) large pool of music that keeps repeating on pandora.
4) Be right back. My girlfriend just asked if I wanted to go for a walk.
