Concrete Motivation

I am definitely not a good picture blogger as of late--someday I'll post some pictures on here too.

But for now, this'll have to do. I am supposed to have my Thesis Defense next Thursday. Which, if you don't know, it's a big deal! It is what determines whether I get my Master's degree or not. Eek. Scary. I do not have a single slide made for it, and I just don't care about my thesis, which is a bad thing because I have to for another couple weeks. Then I, maybe, can decide not to care about it, pretty much ever again.

I have a number of things I have not allowed myself to do until I have my Thesis done and into the grad school. These are supposed to serve as motivation for me to work and finish. I have not written or typed an actual list, so I thought I'd take this little bit of time before choir tonight to compile that list, so that it's written and will hopefully clear my head so that I can focus on my current most urgent task!

1. Read The Hunger Games (trilogy) & watch the movie
2. Read The Hobbit--before the midnight showing, which I will attend!
3. Begin watching Dr. Who--I gotta find out what it's all about
4. Watch the new Sherlock Holmes BBC TV series
5. Watch the BBC Merlin TV series
6. Eat my Cadbury Creme Egg that's in my freezer
7. Watch Lark Rise to Candleford
8. Play FreeCell, Bejeweled, or Tetris
9. Buy Cafe Rio the next time I'm in FoCo or Denver
How could I forget?!
10. DO A PUZZLE!!!!

Well, I think that's a pretty good list--a bit outta control. There were a couple other things that honestly should've been on that list, but I already broke it and did them. So too late now. K, that's a pretty good list of 10 things I really want to do! So this is a good thing. Wish me luck. I think I'll make it pretty clear when I finally do finish...so, we'll be in touch. ;)

Carol, you crack me up! I do things like that too where I forbid myself from something fun until I do what I have to do. Good for you motivating yourself though, I think that's always the hardest part.

I bet everything thing will turn out as awesome as you are! Good luck!
