MULTITASKER GIRL AND THE WEEK AHEAD
|
Monday, March 24, 2008
|
I got to work on time today. I don't know if I'm excited, proud, or worried. I did spend an entire hour deciding wether to get up or not so I guess I am still me. Monday is always a good day to get hit with the reality that everyone around you is an effin' douche. Yes, I am quite cranky, it's okay, just part of the early morning ritual.
I got to talk to Becky last night. Good times. She first texted with an approval for Adam. Yay? She's wanting to meet him so she has extended an invite for him to join us in Memphis this May. I told her I'd mention it to him, but not to make any real plans, atleast until mid April. A little just in case. Either way, Memphis is going to be the bestest! I've been, for all these years, trying to catch the Beale Street Music Festival, and I seem to always miss it, but not this year! I've been missing it so much I didn't even plan on it anymore, until my little Becky asked how long I would be there for, and then nonchalantly added "you know the concerts are that weekend." I freaked out! I told her to make sure the dates are confirmed. She did and I got emailed the flyer. Woohoo! There is my motivation to keep living, atleast until May.
Click here or the flyer to get directed to the pdf of the line-up.
Anyway, work (knock on wood) has been slow so far this morning. I might be able to get a chance to get some studying done. Oh, and then there's that paper I was supposed to start writing. Er! Ah, I didn't do shit during spring break. I am so dead. Freaking distractions =D Okay, so the week ahead:
- Monday (today) - 7:30am to 5:30pm work, dinner at Timbuktu, then class 'til 10pm and I do believe there is a test.
- Tuesday - work, dinner and another class I still need to find an original artwork for.
- Wednesday - work, might skip girls' night, get paper written, and some Phi Tetta Stuff, maybe laundry and for sure my nails.
- Thursday - work, finish stuff I planned to do Wednesday but for sure will not do until Thursday.
- Friday - work and then downtown to see a band.
- Saturday - 10am - 7pm work and hopefully some rest afterwards.
That to-do list looks nice and manageable doesn't it? I think I can do that. With all the days I plan to stay home though I might have to stock up on some "drinks" lest I get tempted to "unwind" elsewhere. I have no will power.
Alright time to start doing some homework and pretending it's work related.
I leave you with today's email forward, courtesy of Miss Kim. (She will never stop sending these so I might as well start utilizing them.)

After the day I had at work yesterday, I might have to start using some of those ideas. Number 1 and Number 6 would have been used several times yesterday alone.
