To do list for your

To do list for your amusement

First class today, it was better and cooler than I thought it would be and very stimulating. I feel much warmer or more forgiving towards the prof who I am now TA-ing for and also in another class. He is nice but sometimes just a little boring or pompous seeming but last semester the pompous started seeming less like "possible jerk" and more like "fairly nice dorkiness". Maybe the whole "perpetual breaking up into groups" icebreaker game factor will eventually wear on me, but it seemed really well done and successful today. As usual was unable to keep my mouth shut so I am sure everyone has instantly pegged me as "not only possible but definite jerk". little do they know i am just overly enthusiastic and yapping like a puppy is more like it, i am not trying to asskiss. It can't be helped!

Between classes I sat up in the poetry ctr. and made an enormous list of things to do either very soon or sometime this fall. It took me 2 or 3 hours. The list makes me feel MUCH BETTER about everything. Out of it I also got a proto-schedule.

The whole idea of a schedule is so foreign to me but it seems like the only way I can get all this stuff done.

Here it is:

Fall 2003

basic schedule:

Mon: [9-11am, genealogy time?] 12-1 Myths 2pm get M. [1 day a month, SJPC board mtg]
Tues: 8:30-1:30 work for JMC at Stanford 2pm get M. [this would be a good day to cook]
Wed: 12-1 Myths (library/class writing time) 4-7 D---’s class (jhk works from home, cooks for me?)
Thurs: [9-1:30 do homework] 2pm get M. 6-9pm E----’s class (jhk must come home by 4:45)
Fri: 12-1 Myths 2pm get M. [poetry reading 7pm 2 fridays a month]
Sat: [should schedule regular time for homework]
Sun: can it remain unscheduled?! arrr! [viking rpg in evening every other week]

Need down time every afternoon to put up my feet or else they will swell up and hurt.
Grocery shopping to be done with M. after school. start laundry in mornings, finish in afternoon.
Try to work into schedule a regular time to write poetry in some place out of normal routine: cafe or park. This could be the Thursday morning? homework to be parcelled out in smaller pieces?
