thought i'd take a break, just finished a paper in which i analyzed the education, work, and wages of the women of mexico, PTLNAF*. and i might as well compose my "To Do" list; so here goes;

To Do; (and this is in relative order of due dates and what not)

-fill out spain paperwork and work on the homework; due next monday...i need to get passport size pics
-work on body politics project for womens...the presentation is wed the 6th, the paper due wed the 8th...my group is meeting on the 5th to practice presentation and write paper
-apply to mass comm...go to ucla so they can review my essay once i finish it and angela wrote me back to i can finally do my plan of study which goes along with that
-talk to financial aid..i emailed someone in the department but they havent written back...but talk to them about spain, the apartment for next year
-see if scholarship covers summer school
-start thinking about jobs for when i come home to save money for spain and for rent
-think about what jobs i can get when i am here for the summer
-start investigating possible internships/jobs with State Farm or AIG
-look into volunteer work
-laundry!!!! this will be a necessity soon
-clean my side of the room
-all my other miscellaneous hw that i need to have done, spanish homework, lit homework analyzing the book i didnt read b/c it was unbearable boring regarding the queer theory, read for american diversity, read for geology, read for womens...
-my geology field trip is this saturday
-get notes online for my lit class
-update my checkbook/notebook
-return my cdplayer/run errands, get halloween costume and miscellaneous things like a plain shirt so sara can print me a puma logo on it
-try to find time to work out
-get more sleep
-try to keep in touch with everyone via email, telephone calls, letters(you're right nat, this should be at the top)
-try to breathe and find time for myself

maybe this whole affinity for procrastination is the reason why nothing gets crossed out. the realization that i am not going to be here next semester really hit me today. there is only six weeks left of this semester, and then i move all my shit out. these will be the last six weeks i will be spending in the dorms...its bittersweet...and to clarify for everyone; i will be living back in naperville december through march...i leave for spain the end of march and return around june 20...it will be at this point when i move into my apartment(yaaaaaaya!!) and will be permanently residing in Blormal and taking summer school...i cant wait...but i will enjoy the four month break of no school at home...and i will enjoy even more my three months in spain. it scares the shit out of me when i think about it sometimes but i must remind myself the words of kent nerburn...

"if we dont offer ourselves to the unknown, our sense dull. our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. our eyes dont lift to the horizon; we dont hear the sounds around us. the edge is off our experience and we pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. we wake up one day and find that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days~never let yourself become one of those people."

ahhhh i'm goin to have to put off more writing until later...must start studying for my geology lab exam and attempt other homework which was not completed...

Note;
*praise the lord now and forever-in case you didnt know what it stood for....i dont know; i picked it up from cleveland :)
