For the Greater Good

This post could also be refered to as Productivity at the Expense of Academia, or Mother Was Right...

Today begins "Le Suck: Season of the Unending Migrane". But why today? Because by the time the tests, assignmetns and exams are over, I'll be knee deep in Christmas shopping, wrapping, family and food.

Pass the Eggnog.

Nathan threw a very mild kitizzle at me this morning... So together, we came up with a compromise. Today, we shall accomplish things, in exchange for other things. He will exchange lying on the couch watching Troy for going to Yes! Employment services to update his resume, and then going Christmas shopping on what's left of his paycheque, and I will clean, study and make up my journals in exchange for Romance, the class that I no longer enjoy attending, Nanoing (which is beginning to look like a lost cause) and wild procrastination. THIS is not procrastination...It's a warm-up.

So, what needs to be done today?
1.Clean my room. Mom was right, I'm a slob. I accept that. Now I'm getting sick of it, and I'm running out of clean clothes again. So, unless I go on a shopping spree with the $0 I have, I'd better fire up the wash machines.

2. Study for Psych of Ed. The test itself shouldn't be too difficult, as I already knew a fair chunk of the material, and the rest of it is pretty common sense stuff. Nathan is coming back before 5pm to help me, so I'm going to be making up notes for that soon.

That may be all I get to today, as after class, Nathan and I have to make an apperance at Evolution Night Club for his cousin's birthday bash. His cousin is the bouncer, so there may be some cover/drink cost shenanigans, which could be a good thing.

Tomorrow, I will be: (after class)
1. Writing my kid lit journals. I seriously have NO inspiration for them. Like, I know what I want to say, I just don't know how to say it.

2. Reading the SparkNotes version on Ivanhoe for my romance paper. I know, I know... but as long as it's done, I can over-look the moral implications.

3. Starting my PSL essay. We've covered most of the material in class, it's just a matter of putting it together in a paper.

4. Starting my director's notebook. Nathan may be helping me with this, but not in an official context. More in a scribe context. He's a slow typer, but he works for kisses.

The Assignment I have for myself, should I get ANY of this accomplished, is my Nano. "Night of the Nano" died as fast as it was born. I can't remember if I actually updated my word count or not, but either way, I think I"m still short of 10K. I should be at 20K by now to be ontop of things. I'm sure Heather's done by now... *grumble* Either way, Like the Man, Chris Baty, says, Week Three sees the birth of many an Underdog, and I tend to be the queen of the underdog play.

Right, so Laundry. I'll update tomorrow when I've actually accomplished something. I'm good at making plans and lists, it's the followthru I need to work on.

*sigh*
