transform like optimus prime

I officially only have THREE journals left to write! Which sounds like a lot, but earlier today I had SIX more to write. Which means that I wrote THREE today...which is why I took the day off. I also wrote a couple words on my novel, which felt great. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with every better from now on.

I also wrote a check for New Zealand which made me very nervous. I will send it to Coe tomorrow. Soon I must fill out the FAFSA.

So perhaps I will make a list of things to do tomorrow or other such upcoming days:

1. Fill out the FAFSA.
2. Finish journals.
3. Print manuscript and send it to see if I can get into the Iowa Poetry Workshop. Find out how much the workshop it.
4. Find out how to apply to work in the Writing Center over the summer. Which would make the workshop that much more a possibility. After New Zealand.
5. Figure out how much money I owe for New Zealand. I'm thinking $900 and if I'm correct, that would be grand.
6. Find a way to correct the driving situation.
7. Find a way to budget the rest of NYC so that I will have spending money in NZ.

Looking at that list makes me ill.

A little about the past few days, I suppose? Yesterday was Valentine's Day. John and I went to Urban Outfitters. We found this AMAZING leather jacket that had a woolen lining and it looked so good on him, I almost had to buy it. In the end, we both realized that we have no money and didn't get it. I also didn't get the record I wanted, the shirt I wanted, dress I wanted or awesome hat I wanted. He didn't get the shoes he wanted but probably will. This is getting boring to talk about so I'll talk about what we did next. Went to Barnes & Noble where he bought a book of poetry by Lorca and I parused the postcards. In the end, i didn't get any. Then we bought tickets for the movie Valentine's Day and went to eat at McDonalds where we decided to go Vegan. Now I am vegitarian and he's nothing. Surprise. The movie was good. The theatre was so big it had a mezzanine.

I can't remember what else I've been up to, which most likely means not much.

I'd like to work on another journal now. Until next time!

Today is technically Friday which means...NEW YORK TOMORROW.

Things I still need as today progresses: finish doing laundry so that I can finish packing my clothes, find the lint brush, find the umbrella and jacket in a packet, find appropriate shoes, go shopping for groceries, and sleep more. I definitely need to get my normal sleep pattern back. I don't know how I'll make it through the next week if I don't. (Point in case: it's past three in the morning right now and I'm barely tired. I suppose I should just make myself wake up very early so that I'll get tired sooner. Or whatever.)

Enough rambling for now. Onwards and (hopefully) upwards.
