Ugh
Panicky morning.
Started worrying about finances.
Crunched numbers.
Got more concerned.
Remembered I have one final French paycheck coming.
Might just get out of this summer breaking even. -
Today, I saw a woman being beaten.
I was walking in the metro, making the connection from La Chapelle to Gare du Nord. I had on a backpack, my purse under my left arm, and a third bag between my arms in front of me, in preparation for several days in Brussels ( Read more... ) -
Today has been...productive thus far?
It's 7:15. Soup is simmering in the pot. After I went to the grocery store to get things for it. After I played online for an hour. After I got home from being at school until 4 because I let 9 kids take the quiz today instead of tomorrow, since tomorrow is a holiday. During which time, I graded all of their homework that was turned in last week ( Read more... ) -

Rain has been coming down sporadically all night.
Looks like its another one where I won't be much inclined to sleep until it's far too late to do me any good.
Fortunate that tomorrow's plans don't involve librarying. -
Today, apparently, I did nothing but pick my nose.
This is not true, in fact, but that's what it feels like.

Today: Success
Today, I accomplished all of the things on my list.

The first print job was an 80-page monster, but it makes me happy because now I can scribble all over it. And for dinner, ( Read more... ) -

Of all of the things I was this summer, and to be sure, covetous of my alone time was one of them, I was never lonely.
I am lonely here, right now. -
This.

More being accountable. But also, an actual entry.
Today was full of all kinds of frustrations. Getting to the BnF was fine, but they've changed their reservations system, which is a bit weird. Probably an effort not to waste places on the 400 or so people a day who don't show up. Getting used to it shouldn't be too difficult. One of the books I ordered was completely useless, however, and more ( Read more... ) -
Today: Started well, ended poorly
In an attempt to hold myself accountable to some faceless internet without overwhelming my fb feed, I am going to post daily about what I got done and what I didn't get done. Hopefully it will motivate me and encourage me by showing me that things are in fact getting taken care of, even if I don't always get every day's tasks accomplished. I'm also ( Read more... )
