the light...so close...

i'm defending in a few days. can't wait, but also feel very unprepared. earlier, i was more excited to be done than anxious about getting reamed at the defense, but that balance has shifted as the day has gotten closer.

need a lot of grace to get through the next few days...

anyways, i'm taking a little break, so i wanted to make a list of things i'm going to do once this is all over, things to look forward to...

- wash my incredibly dirty car...and maybe even give it a coat of wax. i think it will be cathartic.
- spring, er, summer cleaning. long overdue, and also cathartic.
- go shopping. have no money for myself, but i have a bunch of very belated birthday presents i need to buy.
- take a road trip with my classmate before she gets married in august...
- play some volleyball!
- start packing for bali! i know, i know, i still have a month, but once again, i think it will be cathartic.
- spend some quality time with some people i've been missing...will involve a few trips down to cerritos and the oc. usually i just invite myself over...
