Horribly overwhelming is an understatement. I always get really excited for the weekend because I figure that&#8217;s two days of sixteen hours in which I can &#8220;really get stuff done&#8221;. What usually happens, however, is that three quarters of Saturday is spent visiting my family (and by that I mainly mean visiting the love of my life (and by THAT I mean my golden retriever)), a block of time which is bookended by a few hours of America&#8217;s Next Top Model, cleaning and general dicking around the house. So that&#8217;s one day down. Then by Sunday, I am so distraught by the fact that I haven&#8217;t even started on my seemingly endless to-do list, I get overwhelmed and what little work I manage to get done in between stressing out and jogging is horribly unfocused.<\/p>\n<p>Ugh! I miss the days when my exams were &#8220;paint what you feel when you eat chocolate&#8221; or some crap like that. Actually, I don&#8217;t. I hated that.<\/p>\n<p>So, I am going to commandeer a whole blog post to a to-do list, mostly for my sake. This gives me a modicum of accountability, at least, and it&#8217;s a little more permanent than the wayward scraps of looseleaf I usually write my todo lists on and lose\/destroy shortly thereafter. And maybe in a few years, I can look back on this and laugh.
