But not by TV.
This week is scaring me, and it’s just now 8:30 on Monday morning! I have three major exams this week: Psychology, Am. Lit, and Texas Government. If you overlook the part where I’m two chapters behind on my reading in Psych, one chapter behind in Government, and have about half a novel to finish before Thursday for my Lit class, then it’ll all probably be okay. But factor in this very prominent truth and…well, I’m scared.
BUT…
I was up at 4:45 this morning, drinking a cup of half-caff and making a detailed to-do list for today. I know it can all be done, including the word count, if I’m diligent and focused. So I’ll try to ignore the rain and the way it makes me just want to go lie down somewhere and I’ll sit and read, write, and study, knowing all the while that in five short days (’cause come on, aren’t they getting shorter?) this crazy, crazy week will be history.
And hopefully I’ll have a few A’s and a nice word count to show for it.
I’m posting the current word count for those of you who have asked in the past week or so. You’ll notice the pace has slowed. This tends to happen as I "lose" some words as I go back and rearrange some scenes. I’m anxious to see the number begin a steady rise again!
I’m off to begin The List. If you miss me this week, just know I am memorizing parts of the brain and Erikson’s stages of development, finishing the last few remaining chapters of Pudden’head Wilson, spending some time with Faith & Marshall and the whole Finding Faith gang, as well as lavishing some attention on my guys here at home.
Have a great week, friends!
Hey, I’ll be praying for ya this week! You can do it!!! Focus. Concentrate. Lots of water. Go ahead… lots of DC! Gotta do what ya gotta do!

Way to go on the word count, as long as the number keeps increasing, thats a good thing right? Good luck with the studying? Do you have someone who can help you? By the way…what are you going to school for? Please know you are in my prayers this week.

Posted on February 12th, 2007 at 5:08 pmGuess what? I have made it through this crazy Monday with absolutely NO diet Coke. I had one Chai latte and lots of water. We’ll see how it goes. Carey, I’m pursuing a literature degree. My dream would be to one day live in a small college town and teach literature at the university level and spend the rest of the time writing. Again, we’ll see how that goes…
