So for the last few days I've been doing a lot of work. Both in the bioenergetics lab and in the Lang Tech Center. It's so hard to believe that my six weeks of bliss are coming to a slamming end. I hardly believe that these next 4 months bring the end of so many things, majors, minors, etc.

I worked 5 hours today, and four each on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I should have earned about 150 dollars this week, more or less. Probably more on the less side. It will be nice, however, to start getting money rolling in again.

Part of me can't wait to just get the classes started, so that I at least can say that I'm doing something. On the other hand, I kind of jsut want to keep doing what I'm doing, working about 5 hours a day, and then spending hte rest of it sewing and reading.

Speaking of which, I am moving along swimmingly on my New Year's Resolutions. I finished one cross stitch project and am on the verge (as in a good movie) of finishing a second. Unfortunately, this activity goes on hold for a while. My reading is progressing too, and I am just about down to one bookshelf worth of stuff left. Unfortuantely, I do have some books I really don't want to read, i.e., heavily Christian ones, ideas in which I don't associate with anymore. I don't have that ardent conservativism that once drove me, and so when I read, I don't find much in common.

I would say that I have one shelf of books left until I completed my NYR#2.

#3 is a little more tricky. I tried quitting the monkey cold turkey, but that didn't work at all, so I am going to do a step down thing. For most of 2007 I had monkey problems every day, and so what I'm doing now is gradually reducing the levels of monkeys in my life. I've easily gotten the monkey down to once in two days, and I'm working on once every three. Of course, I try to hold out as long as I can without having to deal with the monkey, but my average right now is 3 days. Which is good. I hope by March I can get it down to once a week, then slowly just dump it.

Alright, to bed.
