Oct. 23rd, 2003 12:22 pmI need to do something about my sleep schedule. It's getting to the point where I can stay up until 1:30, but I want to sleep until past 10 if I do that. Not a good idea, since I can't seem to get anything productive done after dinner (which happens anywhere between 7:30 and 9:00).
No snow here, but it's cold, wet and overcast. If it's going to be like this all winter, it's going to be a really long winter. Oh, look at that, it's raining again. There goes my motivation to do anything until it stops that.
I have a list of academic things I want to get done by Friday night, but the way it's going, it'll be about half-done by Sunday. They're not difficult, just tedious. Most of them involve correcting things I've already done. I'm also waiting for the maintenance guy to get around to coming and fixing the drip in my kitchen faucet, which drives me insane if I'm trying to write anything important and don't have music on to drown it out. At least the fact that I don't know which day he'll get here is making me do the dishes as soon as I'm done using them.
I keep having dreams about meeting people I haven't seen in ten years at Arisia. This probably has something to do with the fact that my 10th high school reunion is Thanksgiving weekend, and I'm not going because I thought I'd be staying in Ohio over that weekend. Now that I'm not, and now that they want $40 to attend, I'm not going because I can't afford it. I wouldn't be able to afford Arisia either, except that I worked my tail off last year and even if that wasn't enough to get me in free this year, I might be able to lean on friends in high places.
Before I get lonely again, I should go back to being academically useful. At least there's the French coffee hour tomorrow. I might as well be a hermit otherwise. I should do something about that.
