I always feel so idle compared to

stride, but then, having some flex time is pretty important in my mindset.

That said, I've got me a fair bit of projects.

Go in and talk to an advisor and figure out how to meet my graduation by the end of next quarter. Whee. This is likely to be a full-load quarter. I want out of this school.
Go in and get my drivers permit.
Import remaining weekly reports for book
Put out request for pictures for book.
Iron out plot so that in two weeks or so, when Crim's game finishes an arc, I can pick up for her. It'll be my first practical use of 3.5. Whee!
Iron out preludes for PCs in my thursday game.
Figure out what this 3.5 thing wants to look like, anyway (yup, can't quite cross this one off yet.)
Laptop acquisition. This will make my trips north possible in the coming months. Still waiting for the good deals.
Figure out what car insurance will cost if I don't have one.
Practice the driving thing.
Get license and insurance.
Begin job search.

This is why I don't do things like this. It horrifies me to actually consider how many plates I'm spinning. The art of spinning plates, I hear, involves a great deal of not actually worrying about how many you've got set up, just making sure you keep at it. The benefit of being who I am is that I spend a great deal of time just living in the moment. I'm _built_ to live in the moment. It takes serious effort not to. What does that say?

update Oh, god.

- Clean my room, start boxing books - at least enough to put up the Harvards somewhere appropriate.
- Make amends to the many people who aided me through the events of the beginning of this terrifying summer
- Make peace with myself over the events of the summer (another thing I keep surprising myself with by not being able to check off)
- Find and regain my center again.

The last two occupy the remainder of my time, usually in a sort of schizoid cycle of internalization which gets me absolutely nowhere. At least the demon is contained.
