ah, stress

elsajeniThe treadmill plan has officially been fucked. So has the eating-sensibly plan. If I have time to eat at all between now and Nov. 1, I will be very grateful. (Possibly time crunch-induced starvation will lead to butt shrinkage? No, probably not, because whenever I have the opportunity I'll end up eating 20 Oreos for stress relief.)
Right.
1. Essay on Agamemnon tomorrow. Prepared for one of the topics, anyway. If she picks the other one, I'll beg pathetically for an extension, using the excuse that I missed 2 days of last week.
2. Oral test in Chinese on Friday. Not prepared. Never prepared for Chinese orals, for some reason. Should really start learning that damned peacock song.
3. Must have poetry sample selected and polished and sent in by Nov. 1.
4. Must have novel excerpt and outline of entire novel finished, polished, and sent in by Nov. 1.
5. Recording Debussy Danses on Oct. 20.
6. Recording Salzedo etude, other, stupider etude, and Rumba on Oct. 23.
7. Must finish UT application (including 2 essays) and have it arrive in Austin by Nov. 1.
8. Must finish Rice application by Dec. 1. Have at least a little breathing room there, though. Also, essay topic is not so creativity-killing as the main UT one. ("Why are you a good match for us as a learning community?" Um, because I'm in the top ten percent?)
9. Also, must finish UT scholarship applications by Dec. 1.
1-2. I will pass English and Chinese.
3-6. I could get quite a lot of money for college from the scholarship competition that is provoking all this effort. Like, $10,000 (unlikely, but possible).
7-9. I will probably know by Dec. 15 what my two options for college will be. That's when UT notifies for the Nov. 1 deadline. And I think I'll probably get into Plan II. And if I get into Plan II, I'm not applying to any of my spring-deadline schools. So it's just UT and Rice. Once I get into Plan II, anyway.
In other news. In all that spare time I haven't got, I am working very, very hard on this damned fanfic. I promised Dana and Susan they'd be able to read it by Oct. 1. It is now Oct. 14. Clearly, something has gone wrong somewhere in the process.
I am going to go scream now. And then get back to work. If I don't post again between now and November, you'll know why.
