things to do when you're bored

Take self-portraits. Imagine my surprise when I realized I had taken ninety pictures of myself one night last week when my brain refused to work any longer. Of course, this was before my students' papers were due. When I did get them a few days later and finally crawled into bed after thirteen hours of grading the first bunch, I couldn't figure out why I was having a hard time falling asleep. I finally realized I was still wearing my glasses (a bit uncomfortable).
