Still Peppy, But Realistic Too

Ok well it's nearing 3:30AM and I need to make an edit to my schedule, below.

I think I need to re-prioritize, given how long it's been taking me to put my argument together, and shift my efforts to doing the reading/short reaction paper that is DEFINITELY due at 4PM, now, and also work on the materials I'll be presenting at the Fellow's meeting. Then, with all that done, I can ONLY work on the long paper during the day (free of all other errands and commitments).

The long paper (in my independent study with the Assistant Dean) is due because I set the due-date for myself: [imagine this in black and white, since it happened a week ago]

Dean: "About your paper, I'll be leaving on the 22nd, so if you can try to get it to be, you know..."

[VC interrupts]

VC: "Oh I'll give it to you at our next meeting on the 18th."

[Dean, surprised, delighted]

Dean: "Oh, ok. Great. Looking forward to it."

SO, yeah, it's not great if I need one more day, but at least it will be MOSTLY done by the time I meet with her in 12 hours and 35 minutes. I also think that when I email her my reaction paper in anticipation of our meeting, like way in advance (at, say, 6AM), than she'll know that I'm taking things seriously.

Guess it's clear that the 4AM - 8AM sleep thing is getting cut-out, but I can rest when I get back from class for 3 hours and be good as new.

While we're being peppy but realistic :) who am I kidding? I'm totally more rippley than chunky ;p
