So, I'm ready to go back to school.

...except not.

Mentally, I am ready to go back to school.

Supplies-wise, reading-wise, everything-I-have-to-do-before-school-wise, I am not.

Between now and the first day, I have to:
1. Finish reading How to Read Literature Like a Professor
2. Read Red Sky at Morning and answer its discussion questions
3. Xerox my ( Read more... )

lists

Well great, now it's stuck in my head too!
That's a lot like my list of stuff I have to do.
1. Finish Red Sky at Morning, allow brain to realize that there are, in fact discussion questions, and go into a 12-step program to accept said fact.
2. Learn to eat with braces (starting in up to a week (my mind has blocked the actual date))
3. Try to control some of my tic's and/or OCD. I've been backspacing and retyping letters. Not cool. And I have facial tics that make me hurt inside.
4. Buy school supplies.
5. Design my mom's website to obtain my backpack.
6. I should probably get started on some of this stuff...goo'bye.

That first made me laugh out loud (but silently, because it's 1:30 AM.) We don't have to answer them in a particularly complex fashion-- they're just guidelines for what we should be paying attention to. I think.

Grr braces. Learning to eat with them isn't particularly difficult. It's learning to brush that sucks.

Ugh tics. Can't help you there. Buying school supplies is fun, though. Will designing your mom's website be?

I'm hoping. This time she understands that she'll have to conciously be part of the design process, so it'll be good.

Ah yes, so you're not left to read her mind on what kind of design she'd like?

Hahaha!! Me too... I'll have to watch that segment tomorrow.

See this page for details/questions:

You actually don't even have to have it. He just said it was probably a good idea to read it in order to have a better understanding of the symbols in Red Sky at Morning.

It's taking me a long time to read... Grargh.

I'm being silly and reading the professor book very slowly.

P.S.: I found the Mulan song on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNM2M6cSJaM
