... and the days keep passing
I have things to do, but no motivation to do them. I have plans, but lack the execution. I've been getting more done around the house these days, but it's more so that I have something to hold up to explain why I haven't dealt with the real issues.
My teaching certification has finally arrived, but I still need my TQS (which as I understand it is the thing that tells them how much they have to pay you based on how much education you have.) For that I need transcripts, but there's currently a financial hold on my student record at the university, because I have outstanding library fines. I've known about these fines for a while, and even went in to try to pay them once, only to be told that all fines had to be paid in cash. So, I got cash, intending to go either before choir on a Wednesday or after choir on a Saturday, but I kept either running late, or forgetting, or I'd really rather go out for lunch with my friends right now, or any number of other lame excuses. Especially lame since I could go, pay my library fine, which would take about two minutes, and THEN go out for lunch without any problem.
And of course now it's Reading Week, so I don't have choir, so I have no reason to even go into the city at all. But I do, because this is important and I have to do it.... The fact that I'm avoiding doing even this very simple thing that NEEDS to be done before I can go on to the next step in this process which will ultimately end with me employed bothers me more than a little. I have to be a grownup now, so why can't I just buckle down and bloody well DO it???
[I took a little time out in the midst of writing this entry and discovered that SINCE the last time I'd checked, the university has implemented an online credit card payment system for library fines. So I payed it. It's done. I also printed off the transcript request form, but I really am going to have to deal with that in person, because it'll take tons longer if I don't just go in. Tomorrow. I promise.]
