this side of the blue

ahhhhhhhhh i'm always making mountains out of molehills. so today wasn't SO BAD. i was welcomed warmly at work [another added bonus of my job; everyone loves everyone, mostly], and class was yes intimidating - i have a test on Wednesday which means i roughly have a day and a half to learn several sections of new material and do a lot of homework - but it isn't impossible, and besides, i've had worse. i think i can do it. the test, well it really shouldn't be too hard as long as i study tomorrow night. and really college alg is the only class i'm worried about. the others i'm still right on task, so yay for preparing and shit.

i've made very little progress on the Christmas zine. fuck me and my lazy fucking fat ass.

here's a rough to-do list for now;

1. buy secret Santa present for next week x-mas party
2. buy present for the department Chinese gift exchange this Friday
3. bake + decorate sugar cookies + send them off to James with a package o' goods
4. FINISH ZINE
5. make rough Christmas list of "important people to buy things for"
6. don't stop doing school work
7. also try to keep reading for pleasure. i'm on such a role now!

i finished The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole and loved it. there are supposed to be others. must seek them out soon.
