Entry: The Twenty-Eighth-- One for the Road
In less than 24 hours I will be back at school. Wow. I don’t think the reality of that has hit me yet (which maybe could explain why I’ve barely started packing).
There’s still so much I need to do before I leave. Like re-cleaning up my room, for one thing. Spending some quality time with the family and cat, for another. Packing, again, would be an important third. (then there’s the LiveJournal too. gotta write those LiveJournal updates too. very essential, they are).
For clarification: this isn’t a panicky, oh-no-how-am-I-going-to-get-everything-done?!?! sort of post. It’s merely a reflection of sorts of who I am, where I'm at, and what's going on on this, the last day of summer break. (besides, I’ve learned by now to leave the panicking part of life to my Mom. she’s a pro at that sort of thing, worrying enough for a entire family without breaking a sweat)
Still, I do want to list a few concerns* on my mind:
- There’s almost an entire quart of Starbucks Coffee Almond Fudge ice cream left in our freezer. As amazing and wonderful as it tastes, there’s no way I’ll be able to finish the entire thing by tomorrow afternoon.
- I have tried to get my bedtime back to a reasonable hour (i.e. 1:00 AM) in preparation for the beginning of the school year. I’ve failed. I stayed in bed longer today than any other day before ever. Help.
- Gigli left theaters before I was able to see it.
- The Phillies have lost 9 of their last 10 games, and have fallen into a five-way tie for a playoff spot. The players are angry at the manager and the coaches, and the coaches and manager are angry at the players. I’ve waited 10 years for the chance to see a playoff baseball game, and don’t feel like being disappointed now.
- Classes.
- I’m hungry. I really hope Dad’s making something good for dinner.
That’s all for now. Other stuff calls. I feel compelled to answer. So I will. See you tomorrow, everybody.
*Use your own best judgment to discern how serious I am about each of these matters of concern. The level of actual worry varies extensively. Answers will be revealed in a future post.
