Productivity! At last!

It finally sunk in as I was changing my clock at midnight
last night that I am going to florida THIS WEEK. Wow. And
I don;t have any stockings. And I have to work thursday
night. WOW. This is gonna be fun... I was studying my
parts for like forty minutes earlier, which is a switch
for me since i normally only study immediately before
practice. I think I have got the basics for each part
down... it's just remembering to get all the stuff into my
answers that challenges me. I will be ok. It just still
seems really removed from reality - it probably will until
I get down there. Nationals still exists only on paper to
me, and I won;t be fully aware of what's actually going on
until I'm physically on the plane.

I wrote three pages of the chempaper today :) I am
immensely relieved to have started at least. I've still
got shitloads of work to do on it, but I have a sizable
portion completed and it feels a lot more manageable now.
Starting really is the hardest part... i have a tendency
to perceive things as bigger problems than they actually
are, and that really applied to this paper... it was weeks
before i could even think about it without freaking out
about getting it done. And now it is thirty percent
complete. heehee

I think I burned out this week's cache of deep thoughts on
the gender relations rant a few days ago, because I keep
trying to say deep things and they don;t work out.
