Writing Exercise

do dee do dee do. hum drum. Dr. Oz said that I should do 60 mins of exercise a day. This is my writing exercise :DDDDD . D The idea is that for a few mins I am not allowed to stop typing. If I cant think of anything worthwhile to write, I just write what ever. Even if I write "hum drum la dee da" or " I'm bored. I can't think of anything to write" luckily for me, I have two things on my side.
1. I can't spell, so I am constantly slowing down to correct my spelling
2. I have a very interesting topic to discuss...this exercise!
3. I really like lists, so if I have trouble, I can always turn it into  list. Speaking of lists, I was working on a list today. Summer, you already know about the list in Excel that I wrote for college costs. Now I am cross referencing these costs with the price. I.E. Food should cost me $150 a month, but I only spent 125. Now I have $25 to spend on something else, or save to pay off my loans. :C Loans bah. you know, I never set a time for this little mind game, nor did I ever look at the clock. Normally I would, but I don't care. The real reason that I did this was to get off the TV. My parents have been on my case about watching too much TV. Ironically, when I moved back in with them, I wasn't going to watch any TV. Aside from celebrity apprentice, I think I can do that now. Not "cold turkey' of course, but gradually. Then MLIA, then sugar and junk food. after that, I will need to make a list of new habits to replace them with. TV is being replaced with outdoor activities in the daytime and reading and drawing in the evening. The MLIA is being replaced by writing. Sugar and junk food is being replaced by water and fruit. This is a good plan in several ways.
1. I told you I like lists
2. It helps me set a specific, tangible goal that I can follow
3. It gives me things to fill the void that will be left by those things, therefore helping me know how to avoid them
4. It gives me good things to work on that I need to do anyways, verifiably killing two birds with one stone.
