readingredheadWhat I really need right now is way more time than I have.
Between today and the end of November, I HAVE to:
1. Study for my bio midterm (by Tuesday)
2. Finish my novel--all 25,000 remaining words of it (by Friday)
3. Spend ridiculous amounts of time with family
Between today and the end of November, I OUGHT to:
1. Finish the bio paper (4 pages)
2. Finish the English paper (6 pages)
3. Finish the biblical poetry paper (15 pages!)
Between today and the end of November, I WILL:
1. Not sleep.
2. Not procrastinate.
3. Not have nearly as much fun at home as I ought to.
Where's Christmas when you need it?

In other, slightly more positive and life-affirming news... So my computer was out for repairs -- AGAIN -- but I got an e-mail yesterday saying it had been delivered back fixed, so I went to the mail room to pick it up. When I looked in my mailbox, I found the package slip I was expecting, but also a letter with the return address as the Berkeley English Department. I figured it might have something to do with the fact that I declared the major at the beginning of the school year; I thought that maybe they were sending me some documentation or something.
Instead, I open it up to see this:
Dear Candace,
I am happy to inform you that you are a recipient of the English Department's James Phelan Scholarship for the academic year 2008-09. This scholarship is awarded to outstanding English majors selected by our faculty who consider your work in the English Department to be of an exceptionally high caliber.
The scholarship's only $700 but I could care less about the money -- it's the fact that this award, decided upon by the English Department faculty, went to me, a sophomore who just declared the major in August! My professors, the ones that I respect and admire, think I'm worth something. It's a really, really nice feeling.
-----------------------
Finally, because it looked so cool when Steph did it, here's my novel, Wordle-style:
And for last year's NaNo-novel, still in progress:

Everything in here...
Date: 2008-11-23 07:58 pm (UTC)(OK, after last week my list of things to do has gotten much shorter, so you're probably worse off than I am. Good luck!)
I'll post my Wordle when I finish. That was an awesome Procrastination link, though.
(And yes, same music too. Am I developing an obsession? ...maybe.)
