Last Weekend of Freedom

So, here I am, about to start waking up at 6am (without choice) and dressing up every morning... sometimes on Saturday to make a buck (rather a won.) Its really not a bad job, and I am getting pretty bored these days... honestly, I don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't have a job, I really sympathise with disabled people who cant work when I go through times like this.

A little over a week ago the building I work in caught on fire! I work on the 10th floor and the fire was on the 7th floor. My office was totally filled with ash and so much was destroyed... I have to get stuff dry cleaned that I left there, and my shoes... I don't even know how to clean them, but they were brown before, now they are black... and I only bought one new pair of shoes in the US, and they aren't the best for pants... oh well. Oh, and the whole place REEKS!!! It smells so bad, I am sure the fumes are toxic. Its just nasty. Its gotten better since last week, and I really hope that next week when I start will be even better.

I updated my books Ive read page. I finished the book Middlesex, and I thought it was quite good... it was long though! But I think most people would like the story, I did.

I made a to do list, but I still haven't printed it out. I will have to do that when I am back at work... and I'm going to make some of it public:
1. buy plane tickets to Japan
2. buy plane ticket to US (for Nov)
3. Contact my advisor and figure out when I can start my paper for my masters
4. email old school friends, is it possible to film a lesson in their class in Nov for my cert?
5. apply for an extension to my certification

That was all pretty important stuff that I have to do... well I don't have to do it, but it would make my life a lot easier if I could have those things done asap. The stuff on my 101 goals list is mostly not essential, but just stuff I would like to do, but the above list is actually essential. And I figure if I write it down I will stop worrying so much. All this worry and other bad emotions I have been feeling about all the stuff I have to do isn't healthy or helpful. Also, If I write this down in a public forum it gives me some type of accountability. (Hopefully)

My microwave is broken :( I have to tell my landlord, but its a holiday weekend, so I guess they will be with their family... but that means no more nuked rice for a while... that was sorta staple in my diet... sigh, I'm hungry. Oh well... I just don't feel like getting pots dirty right now. I think I might force myself to go to bed soon. night night.
