I'm doing 21 things
... I still haven’t read anywhere close to all of them. Since I’m in school, I’m supposed to be reading a bunch of selections, and… well… I haven’t even been reading those, much less any of the other books I own. However, I do have all my books (and other stuff) out of storage and up from Pennsylvania, so I only have crap in two places, not three. I plan on donating a bunch of my books to Housing Works or some library and have given up trying to read “the classics” because I can’t even get myself to read the books I already own, much less the ones I’m “supposed to” have read.

... sorta. Last November, my dad came out for the week of Thanksgiving and while it was awesome, I walked around all week in a pair of boots that, while they were warm, had me screaming in pain by the time the week ended. My right knee hasn’t been the same since. I think this is partly just an excuse, but I would like to see a doctor before I go out an do something that has me in a wheelchair for eight weeks or something.
DONE!

I finished the requirements for a Master of Arts in Creative Writing in January and was somehow talked into another year of school to earn a Master of Fine Arts (the terminal degree in my field). So, I have another year and should be finished in January 2010 if all goes as planned. I’ll be keeping this thing open until I earn the MFA because I don’t want to create another “to do” list item and… well, it IS still a Masters… isn’t it?
I had a dream in which I was talking to my friends, who asked me what I’d be doing after that. I said I wanted to earn a Ph.D. in psychology. I woke up unable to decide if that was a goal-setting dream or a nightmare.
