what i'm doing now and what i have to do
right now i'm procrastinating. i'm dead tired. i did finish my english takehome exam and manage to get a candidate number and turn it in. success. not sure how well it was written, but it's over. and i'm nearing, nearing the finish line. but i'm TIRED. so tired. slept 2 hours last night and another two this afternoon. i hope to finish up my paper tonight, or get to a good almost-finished stopping point with time to sleep a bit before my oral exam. ugh.
these are all the tasks i have to complete in the concretely foreseeable future.
1. in between now and tomorrow at 14 (it's 11 now) i have to write 2000 more words for this boring ass paper about welfare state policy. it's about whether daddy-focused policies have changed family's social habits at all and impacted gender equality positively.
2. at 10:30 i have a c. 10 min oral exam in norwegian. i actually think i'll do ok but the problem is that i will get really nervous and jumpy regardless. aeesssjj. i can feel the wobbly drop in the pit of my stomach already. and adrenaline surges freak me out, rather than motivate me. :(
3. on thursday i think i am supposed to hang out with ingrid. APPARENTLY she's going to give me something, and she wants me to see her christmas decorations. so that sounds fun. i bought her this dumb but cute white wine in a kitty cat bottle in sweden.
4. eline wants to have dinner with me but i haven't answered her because i'm under duress. so. that. i should respond instead of being a mean loser.
5. on the 10th i have my sosiologi eksamen, which should be ok if i can manage to halfway catch up on the METRIC TON of reading i've skipped.
6. the 10th-14th i should spend cleaning my room, packing and
7. at some point next week i hope to go visit camilla og hennes ny valp charlie. a very cute blue merle collie. :)
8. on the 15th i have my norwegian exam, which will be easy. norwegian is really very easy to write. not saying i don't do it like a dumb foreigner still, but it's so similar to english in so many ways.
9. on the 16th i'm probably leaving town for the afore-mentioned euro-trip. HAR HAR the itinerary is changed again. we will likely go back to gothenburg for a couple days just cause we liked it so much over the weekend.
10. then on the 5th or so we will be back in o-town. see and hug anyone left.
11. leave on the 7th. miraculously get back on the 7th. magic time zones.
12. have happy times with my family and pack the ol' waggie.
13. drive to tulsita on friday morning. (9th) move in that day.
14. hopefully see some folks the 10th and 11th.
15. maybe start internship on the 12th?
16. my first class is the 13th.
WOO I AM GOING TO CABO FOR SPRING BREAK WITH M
oh and it would be nice if the sun would wait until after 3 pm to set. but whatever, i guess i can wait until dec. 21 for things to get better.
/whine. going to start working now. ...NOW. NOOOOWWW.
p.s. my dad is letting me hang one of his dr. seuss prints in our new apartment. it looks like this:
p.p.s. dad also wants to know if i want to come home to go see britney spears in KC in april. asks if i want to see that freak show and reminds me that laughter is the best medicine. plus pussycat dolls are opening, and while abhorrent, they are entertaining. thoughts?
