1. All’s Well That Ends Well. Am done with the semester. All done. No more semester. This makes me happy.
2. Russell Crowe. Will be seeing Russell Crowe, er, I mean, Robin Hood this weekend with friends. This also makes me happy.
3. Summer Schedule. Have been working on a summer schedule for myself, so that I don’t waste a third of the year in binge-reading and movie-watching. I’m approaching the midway point of a novel at the moment, so that’s a good start. I’ll be writing another novel in June and focusing on short stories in July and August; I’ll have a battery of material with which to impress my thesis advisor when we meet in the fall. I’ll also be attempting to write a personal essay, since I’ll more than likely be taking a creative nonfiction workshop. My main goal by the end of the summer is to have lots of rough drafts. Then when I’m dazed and frazzled during the fall semester, I will only have to clean things up.
4. And German. Will also be working through yet another German textbook. You’d think I’d have gotten it down by now. But this is a German-professor-recommended textbook, so I’m counting on it to work wonders, although I’m not going to start it until after my vacation.
5. Hawaiian Vacation. Am going to Hawaii next week for six days. This, especially this, makes me happy.
