Shoot on a Long Night
I'm paying for getting behind in my school reading. Now I'm frantically getting caught up. Much reading to do this weekend. Actually, to be more accurate, much thinking about all the reading I've been doing. This is my long day. I'm trying to wind down. It's only sort of working so far. Soccer Friday and Saturday. Holloween stuff to take care of Sunday, but if all continues to go tell reading wise, I should have time for the Rake synopsis Sunday so that darn query can get into the mail!
So, here was my Wednesday: Realize very late on Tuesday eve that I messed up my reminder for getting my all new Rake chapters to my prof. Print them off, get them into envelope and put with my stuff for work. Leave work at 9am hoping that I am remembering right that my prof is there Wed. mornings, otherwise I am sunk, she won't get my chapters in time (Yes, I know, I was at SSU Saturday AND Sunday...) She is. Yay. 494 (reading prof) grabs me because I missed the first practice oral in early Oct. Thats' because when I went to sign up, the sheet wasn't on her door and then I got to my little lapse which fortunately didn't last all that long. So Wed, we schedule my practice for Monday the 24th. The stupid work phone pages me because some server is freaking. Shut up you stupid server. Realize HORRORS! that I have not read the Joyce which is guaranteed to be hard. Order many, many books online so that I will not be panicking later when it IS time to read them. So, I'm finishing up Frankenstein and already starting the joyce (Artist as a Young Man) and finding I really like it. Jude the Obscure this weekend and I'm good for Monday.
Actual writing done Wed: None. Because I did too much the prev week. All I really need is a synopsis for The Rake. I think my opening chapters are good. I know where it's going mostly. That was Wednesday. Today I read during all the interstices of my day.
