So that I get things done...

Through my twenty-three years of existence, I have found that in order for me to actually get things done, it helps if I put the pencil to the paper (or rather, my fingers to the keyboard/font to the document/entry on the blog). In an effort to maintain my sanity, I'm going to attempt to make note of the several important things I should be getting done during this summer that is book-ended by reading and papers.

1. Begin brainstorming for my thesis (yes, the same thesis that was supposed to have a summary turned in last week). True, it isn't a formal thesis, but its importance to me (and my graduation) is just the same. It should be a pretty fun process, but getting the ball rolling is the most agonizing part.

2. Actually begin my summer job/internship. Though the last few weeks of doing nothing but sitting around and playing shows has been a nice change of pace, I find that since the majority of my waking hours are taken up by nothing other than lethargy that I have grown both restless and lazy at the same time. Now THAT is impressive.

3. Secure all funds necessary for the next year of my life. These include:

--$255 per month car payment
--$65 per month cell phone
--$90 per month insurance
--$2,900 for tuition (per quarter)
--$200(ish) per month petrol

Scrimping for that should be fun.
