I've Got A New Attitude*
It's March..and time for a change. Somehow the semester has flown by and I am in no better a place than I was when I left New York for holiday break. I am still a student, and as such I have student-like responsibilities which I am neglecting. I turned in a paper on Tuesday, a week past its due date. I have made zero progress on my thesis which, technically, I should have already turned in a proposal for and had approved. (In my own defense, that part isn't easy when your advisor doesn't so much exist..maybe lucky number three will be the charm!) Instead, I have managed to waste a couple of months forgetting to re-check the library books gathering dust on my floor and paying the fines (at $15 already!) and just generally being a big loser-slacker-McDork. That isn't to say, however, that I don't do anything...need I remind you (and myself) that I work a full-time, forty hours a week job for bad pay. Or that I am completely caught up (save one chapter) on my class reading despite the late paper. Or that my volleyball skills are much in check these days. Or that I have many an obligation at the theater (Tonya Pinkins at Lincoln Center and Wicked for the 2nd time!) and that I have to attend these events because student tickets will only be in vogue for me for so long! No, I need to remind you (and myself) that I chose to be a NewYork graduate student and therefore must be a good one.

As such, I'm pulling out my new spring-time attitude and officially proclaiming March, Get Off Your Ass and Get Things Done Month! Anyone who wants to join me, membership is free for the whole month! And as a member you get the satisfaction of marking things off of your To-Do list for the whole month. My list is long and consists of a number of life-changing, different path kind of tasks, but now that I have more hours of sunlight, anything is possible. I think. So here it goes, today's the day...or maybe tomorrow, I haven't decided yet.
