what I should've done over spring break (but didn't)

I should have...

• cleaned the apartment


• done oodles of laundry


• adjusted my car insurance policy


• finished Adler's sweater


• maintained my dreads (waxing & palm-rolling)


• done a post-a-day series here


• caught up on my Japanese homework


• caught up on my chemistry homework


• worked ahead on my physics homework


• given Lucy a bath


• knit on something (anything!)


• updated my yarn stash spreadsheet


• synced my PDA to my laptop


• uploaded pix from my camera


• fixed all the broken bits in my blog template code


• just generally gotten my shit together

I didn't do any of those things, and the rest of my semester is going to be miserable because of that.

I did manage to:

• pay our bills (albeit somewhat late)


• write a few key e-mails (too few, but some is better than none, I guess)


• finally do some real geocaching with the GPS my wonderful in-laws got me for Christmas (I found 3 caches - yay!)


• spend some quality crafting time with Bean (more yay!)


• develop several large zits on my face that will not go away (not so yay!)


• clear off a section of the couch, only to clutter it right back up again (the antithesis of yay!)


• realize my Porter Hall, Tennessee CD is missing (the nadir to yay!'s zenith)


• futz around online a lot (neither all yay! nor all nay!)


• wax about a third of my dreads


• totally veg out - which I really did need to do - I just should have kept it to two days instead of five, y'know?

Anyway. I have to go to bed now, 'cause I have to get up for work tomorrow, and after that I have a super-fun review session for organic chem to attend, because we've got a test on Thursday (yeah, a big exam right after we get back from spring break - thanks, Prof. K!). Ooh, that's one more thing I did manage to do this week - study just a tiny bit for the upcoming organic exam! Not that it'll really do me a whole lot of good. But at least I can say I tried.
