Apr. 12th, 2004 12:36 amthe weekend, and week, are over now - after writing this, i'm just going to bed.
by now, prague seems like such a long time ago and even though i leave for arizona in less then a week, that still doesn't feel real - and there's so much to do between now and then.
it seems that i've lost a couple of email addresses from prague - one i'm sort of sad about, and one i'm rather upset about - odds are, late tomorrow evening, i'll be tearing through what still hasn't been unpacked.
i'm still feeling very indecisive about school - both taking classes and taking time off have a very strong pull and i can't make heads or tails of it.
at this point, i might wait until the semester is over - see how i do on the final paper, see if i can get it done quickly enough to enjoy most of may, see where that gets me.
i think it might be helpful for me to think of my remaining school time in terms of classes and not credits - somehow, 9 classes seems much more doable then 26 credits, but even still, it just can't be done soon enough.
but yeah, i'm really torn between finishing one third of what i've got left in one swoop and having a summer to enjoy myself, enjoy the weather, read for pleasure, take non-academic classes and just be.
spring is here.
i've been summoning it ever since i got back - i stopped wearing my winter coat, started making a point of walking more and it seems to be working : )
today, while not as nice as yesterday, was nice enough to have brunch with
maighread and
sweetbaboo while sitting at
sol3's front porch. mmmmbrunch.....
yesterday i spent some time in the attempts to clean up.
for the most part, i failed. i didn't do half of what i intended to do.
i did, though, do laundry, pick up my room a bit, place and fill my new shoe rack, sort through the crap that came out of my old closet and store some of it in a drawer. now, i even have one free bed-drawer!
i am also painfully aware of what a packrat i am. in my closets/drawers are items of clothing that prolly still fit - but i have no good way of knowing, because i haven't worn them in years and yet can't bring myself to throw them out.
same with shoes. there's prolly three pairs that need to goo back to my mom's house in may - two that she'd given me that i just don't wear, and one that i can't bring myself to throw out - which is pathetic because they're cheapoid payless shoes that give me blisters - they just ended up getting the title 'interview shoes' and now that they have a name, i can't toss them.
i did finally toss a pile of clothing that had accumulated at the house over a period of years and didn't seem to belong to any of the residents.
and as usual, there was a lot more that i wanted to write, but am getting too sleepy too. more later.
