Read-a-thon
Yup, I'm definitely a glutton for punishment! I have so much to do this weekend, but it's the 24-hour read-a-thon tomorrow! How could I resist? So, yeah, I'm doing it. That means I've got to actually get a TON of work done today, and get some serious sleep this evening/tonight. You can find info about the read-a-thon here
Today's goals: print and read comments on the prospectus (I've done this for 2 of 3 commenters)
make a plan to institute changes in prospectus (again, already done for 2 of 3)
make the quick changes
read and annotate at least 5 articles for the GROUPS list
write my "morning pages"
update my CV for portfolio due 4/15
write a cover letter for said portfolio
gather books and snacks for tomorrow
tidy up my room and office so that I'll have plenty of lovely reading space

7 pm...just got back from picnic in the park with housemate. She drove (and I read). We had yummy fruit and brie and crackers and eggs and pickles. Om nom nom. Finished Moneypenny Diaries: Secret Servant and Orchids on Your Budget and am on to This Rough Magic
10.45 Sunday: Well, I think that was a success. For my first ever read-a-thon, I managed 2 complete books and about 350 pages of finishing up or starting. I went for 21 hours and had a great time!
