"To Do" List

Lists. I love making them. I hate doing the stuff on them, depending on the purpose, but I'm obsessed. It's so much more fun to make a list of all the homework I have to do instead of doing the homework itself. So right now I'm backed up beyond belief in homework, but I have twenty-five lists floating around my room reminding me of what I have to do. Overloaded? Yes. Lazy? Definitely. What'll I do now? Make a list!

AW--working essay draft. write up questions.
ITLS--formal paper outline. pick a topic!
S2--read. (Who understands Shakespeare anyway? Definitely not me.)
VOAW--journal entries. read. speech--due next week!! (truly the most embarassing moment of next week.) speech for Tuesday--orators of today.
YAL--read book. formal paper--due Wednesday!! book review cards. freewrites for homs and monster.

See the fun things I have to do? Oh--another thing I love to do. Complain. My friends know it well, as they're always the people I vent and complain to. Now I have twenty-six lists of what I have to do. And you know, it doesn't sound like a lot, which may be the reason I love writing everything down. In reality each project will take me at least one hour, and definitely more on the heavy things. It's so much easier writing it down. I got one thing done and thought yes! This is motivation to finish everything else, but then I realized that what I had done would have to be redone for Wednesday, which adds to the whole list.
This is the reason I'm counting until the end of school. I'm such a lazy bum--three weeks of classes and finals. Yea! I'm waiting for summer to get here, and hoping that I get the same summer job I had last summer. I worry so much about everything, and am so jealous my cousin is done with his finals next week. I need to focus on my work...I don't want to forget anything--better make a list.

Yah I am a big fan of the list thing I
1. Make A list
2. For each "to do" item I then make a detail sub-list.
3. Schedule my week/day as to when Im going to do each thing on the list.
4. Figure in lots of time for procrastination and naps.
5. Realize I'v done nothing all day but nap and make a list.
6. Re-evaluate and make a new list.
