October is Great: 25

So yesterday we had choir. And out of the five first sopranos we started the semester with, there were two of us there yesterday. Sarah has left Wells for good, and she was the strongest singer/the section leader, so now it is super obvious when people fuck up because her volume isn't there to cover it, but I found myself stepping up and singing louder and actually being really accurate and not getting pulled off key when the other first made mistakes... so I might be rising to the position of section leader, which isn't an official thing or anything, it's just whoever sings right and loud more than other people. And I really do know what I'm doing. So that's pretty cool.

I should really be working on my thesis now, but it's so grey and rainy and blah out that my focus is basically nonexistent. So I'm going to do poetry criticism instead, which is much less mentally intensive than neuroscience, and then I might take a nap. Despite the fact that I slept until 11:30 today. My sem was canceled, which was nice. Now I can watch Dracula over the weekend. And I have to finish reading Dracula by next week, so maybe I should do that instead of napping.

(no subject)

Okay, so out of my 101 things in 1001 days list, I got 37 things done. Which is over one third! I didn't really think I was going to get more than that done.

But now that I know what is realistic, I am going to make another 101/1001 list, and maybe I will be able to finish half of that one.

And some of the things I did were really important, like quitting smoking, or really cool, like seeing the Mountain Goats three times, or really awesome, like getting my associate's degree and getting accepted to Wells. And some of the things I didn't quite finish, I got really close to, like I lost 20 pounds instead of 25, or I watched 170 movies instead of 200. So I did a good job.

So I'm going to take this list and bring the things I really want to do to the next one, and I will start my next 1001 days on November 1, if I can come up with a complete list by then.
