I figured I could vent for a few minutes and write out my things to do list so that I can actually focus on one thing tonight and finish something. I sent out a couple of nice emails to profs asking them to be on my thesis committee. I loathe the waiting for a response part! I've just been antsy and totally erratic. I wonder if I will get sleeping tonight with, what, racing thoughts and this sense of urgency of meeting a deadline. All I want to do is curl up and read a book that isn't for a quiz. Of course, I did take a nap today accidentally; it's been a long time since I had a nap, which I used to be able to do because of 6:30 barista job. Last night I barely got 5 hours of sleep, which to others is more than enough, I am told.
so what do I need to do this week:
grunt work: a) get ink for printer so that b) I could print out some forms and then c) I can write out a thesis abstract, which d) needs a couple of signatures of approval.
of course I am still vague about my larger argument, but I am just glad that I at least selected two novels for the thesis, even if I am still apprehensive about them, which goes something like: I can't believe I am doing this with this novel; how did I all of sudden decide on this topic. God, my shoulders ache.
For tomorrow, I need to e) finish up some reading in between classes; on wednesday, I can f)work on abstract and g) then write a letter of support for a former prof who is up for tenure. I want totally write one!
So i guess the first order of business a) gettting the damn ink for printer. I hate stopping at the Office max or convenience stores for little errands. Today I actually bought grocery, which is a triumph, and last week I actually did 3 weeks of laundry. Okay, so this is small celebration -- hence procratiblogging?.
tonight: I must read through some notes for a quiz and read. If I have time, maybe I can write bits for letter of support.
