A few days ago, I just finished finals for the semester, and I'm experiencing a mixture of emotions as a result. Suffice it to say I'm relieved/concerned/tired/drained/relieved/penitent/relieved. I have a month off from school, so I have some grand plans.
1. Clean my apartment from top to bottom. Housekeeping has kind of slipped the past few weeks, and I find myself staring at/tripping over barely controlled chaos. Truth be told, it will probably only stay tidy for a week or so, but I can try. (Curse the Second Law of Thermodynamics...)
2. Get caught up on reading for fun. I've already started this one. On Friday, I read Anthem by Ayn Rand. I liked it better than The Fountainhead, but not as well as Atlas Shrugged. I plan on reading, in no particular order, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Steven Dubner, and Restoring the Lost Constitution by Randy Barnett.
3. Write. I guess by doing this blog post, I've gotten started at this one as well.
4. Go job hunting. I'm tired of temping. I need stability and I want to use my training. If you know of any lawyers who are looking for a paralegal, I'm looking for a job.
5. Practice the recorder. I've been letting my music slip by the wayside. I was talking with the orchestra last night at intermission, and I think I'm going to play with them next year. Soprano choral singers are a dime a dozen, but I would be the only tenor recorder in the orchestra. (I would play the music of the second oboe, which would work great because there is only one oboe now.)
So, this is my list of plans. What will probably happen is that I'll sleep in, stay in my pajamas until noon, and snuggle up with my cat to watch television re-runs. I can dream big, though.
