My summer in lists

 

THINGS I NEED (MATERIAL AND/OR IMMEDIATE):
- a job. (There's a part of me that doesn't mind the idea of being unemployed this summer. I have enough money in the bank, and I'll be living at home. But still. I don't want to have to feel the need to budget myself tight, not that I'm ever in danger of spending money like water.)

- a pair of sneakers that aren't so broken in that my toes go numb when I even think about walking in them, let alone doing anything more strenuous than walking. Because my toes do go numb. It's awful. Also probably get another pair of Cheap-Ass All-Purpose Black Flats? And carefully monitor the decay of my Converse. I am the shoekiller.

- clothing.

- to learn to drive.

- to figure out how the whole grad-school-applying thing works DDDD:

- to apply for those goddamn scholarships, there is no excuse. Related: to change advisors to one who actually likes me. One who actually advises. Have I mentioned that already? Well, there it is again.

- to clean my goddamn dorm room, thoroughly, before finals week.


THINGS I NEED (IMMATERIAL, FAR INTO THE FUTURE, TL;DR, OR PLAIN OLD DUMB):
- a plan for het_bigbang. What was I thinking? What was I thinking?

- to catch up on my goal of reading 80 books this year. I'm at 20-going-on-21. Jhereg is slooooooow and not great but people have got to be pissing themselves over the Vlad Taltos books for a reason. And I'm halfway through.

- to clean out the magazines accumulating on the one shelf of my bookshelf back home.

- to possibly start selling some of those boxes upon boxes upon boxes of history books my great-aunt sent me when she retired from teaching? There's some cool shit! Mostly ancient history, mostly mythology. But I just don't need all of it, or even most of it.

- Finish More Fanfiction. (The writing isn't the problem! Focus is. But that's another to-do list entirely.) Talk more with noyadespate about Northern Europe Stuff.

- to quit worrying about whether macroeconomics is going to tank my GPA this semester. Going lower than a 3.5 isn't bad. I mean, it's not good. I can't help being one of those douchebags I'm sorry! But it's not bad.

- to do better next semester. Not that I did bad this semester. I just feel like I've been lazy.

- to stop obsessing in the small hours of the night about how I'd do this whole college thing over. It's neither productive nor healthy.
