Abstract
7:00 I pressed the snooze button three times before dragging myself out of bed. Sloth. 7:11 I took an obscenely long, hot shower with no consideration for my sister, with whom I live. (Don't even bother mentioning the ecological implications.) Greed. 7:52 I noticed a pool of cat vomit on the floor and chose to ignore it, knowing that my sister would dutifully clean it up. Sloth. 8:22 I gave someone the finger after they cut me off in traffic. Wrath. 8:33 I helped myself to two complementary pastries at the office meeting (although I had breakfast only an hour before). Gluttony. 8:42 I flirted with the guy next to me, ignoring the speaker to whom I was supposed to be listening. Lust. 10:04 I ignored someone's incessant knocking on the door of the only restroom in the building where I work in order to spend more time putting on makeup in front of the mirror. Pride. 10:42 I lied and told a homeless person that I didn't have any change. Sloth. 11:02 I purposely got to class early so that I could take another student's usual seat, which was much better than mine. Envy. 11:27 I lied and told someone that I got an A on a paper, when in actuality, I only got a B. Pride. 11:49 I took three free movie passes, although the sign said to only take one. Covetousness.
