Okay, so my life is complete chaos right now. Let me break it down:

Today: Go to work, then out with a semi-large group of people to celebrate my birthday which is actually next Wednesday. One person is still on the maybe side and would have to travel four hours from NJ to get here - it’s 3:19 and I have no final answer. As I was getting ready today I was helping a friend through a personal crisis but I can’t do anything other than talk because they are extremely far away and it makes me feel like shit.

Tomorrow: Get up, get over hangover, do some things around the house, and pack. Yes, pack (see Sunday for details). Go to party at Reese’s in the evening.

Sunday-Tuesday: Get up, get over hangover, load up the car and drive to NJ. Turns out my big bro is flying in and will be here for a week. I haven’t seen him in nearly two years and in a month he will be leaving the country for an unnamed length of time so this is my one and only shot to see him. See my brother, run around NJ like a mad-woman, etc.

Tuesday afternoon: Drive back from NJ, meet with RIC’s Amnesty Int’l president and discuss the plans for the coming semester.

Tuesday evening: Finish A Long Way Gone and finish notes and write up for the OBOM book discussion. Apply for RIC bookstore credit and pick up ALL fall semester books.

Wednesday: My birthday. Finish A Long Way Gone because I’m sure I won’t have finished it Tuesday night no matter how ambitious I think I am. Clean my place, get school supplies ready, etc.

Thursday: Get a hold of vocal teacher and set up schedule for fall semester voice classes. Come up with possible event/fundraiser ideas for RIC AI. Laundry, housework, get oil changed, and other miscellany.

Friday: Pack. Yes, again.

Saturday: Leave for NJ, get to J’s house and settled… rest for long drive following day to farthest corner of NJ.

Sunday: Drive to LBI, wedding, party, hotel, sleep.

Monday: Drive ALLL the way back RI.

Tuesday: First day of classes.

Wah.
