I have an incredible amount of energy right now, but almost nothing I want to do. Which isn't to say there aren't a million things I should do. I have yet more cleaning that could be done, laundry (ick!), all sorts of stuff do next week. These are final projects and papers as yesterday was my last day of classes. Woo hoo!

However, I can't seem to stay focused long enough to really get anyhting done. I did work on a jigsaw puzzle a bit, as this is almost a meditative activity for me, and usually helps me get settled when my thoughts are in a disarray. Not today. Today it just made me more antsy, and I had to quit long before I usually would.

I do have a racquetball session today, so I'm hoping that that will wear me out enough to concentrate on school work. I want to get all this stuff done by Monday, except the twenty page paper which I'm going to need until Wednesday to finish.

Oh, I was looking at some Clarion journals (yes, obsessive, I know), and I noted that some people had posted packing lists or expenses sheets. I thought this was really helpful, and I imagine I will do something similar when I return.

As a note, this journal will be on hiatus while I'm at Clarion. That isn't to say I won't be keeping a Clarion journal, but I don't intend to get internet access while there since I'm so incredibly easily distracted, and really want to focus on my writing.

Therefore, what I see happening is that I will make entries in Word while I'm there, and then enter them (backdated) into this journal. So, the whole thing will be posted at once, but after the fact.

Unfortunately, this means I won't be able to use the journal to beg for strength, moral support, goodie baskets from home, or a shot gun for those crisis moments. Oh well, at least in that last case it will most likely be for the best.

I will try to have a snail mail address available if anyone wants to write me. However, I'm not sure when I'll get that info, so it may not make it up here.

Anyway, that's it for now. Bye, all!
