*frowns at course list for next term*

WR 420 Studies in Writing, taught by one of the WGSS faculty. Must take. (4)
WGSS 416 Theories of Feminism. Must take. (4)
GER 112 First-Year German. Must take if I stay on the BA track. (4)
SUS 102 Introduction to Environmental Science and Sustainability. Must take it or a similar class eventually and I want to get the damn bio sci requirement over with. (4)
QS 462 Queer Theories. Must take. (3)

Looks like the only way out of this gridlock is to switch to BS track, which is tempting anyway because German is frustrating me so, and delay the bio sci requirement again. And maybe throw in one of the one-credit PAC classes to bring it up to 12, depending on whether the disability services office—uh-oh. Did I ever actually scan in the paperwork from my doctors to give the disability services office?

I begin to wonder if my morning routine would better resemble what I want my morning routine to be were I to shut down the computer at bedtime. I don't want to do this for reasons, not least being I want my morning routine to include the "write three pages of whatever comes to mind" deal and if I want to be able to reread those later then I had better type them, but it would be harder to disappear into the Internet first thing in the morning were I to turn the computer off at bedtime.

Or before bedtime, because you know how they say one sleeps better if one stays off screens for a little while before bed?

...

I've already missed the big thing I wanted to do this morning, which is the UU service. I misread the clock when I woke up and it's an hour later than I thought it was. Why would I see the clock saying 9:30 on waking when I haven't slept past 8:00 in nearly two months? OH IT'S 8:30 WOW I SLEPT IN. Nope. Musta been 9:30. Either that or I lost an hour sometime between waking and typing this. I prefer the former explanation.

I am really tired and wish to skip the big thing I want to do this afternoon, which is the Pagan meetup downtown. I don't actually want to skip that thing. I just. Brains, and tired, and anxiety, and housework, and homework, and. ETA: Not to mention sniffles and sneezing! I think I had better not go. :(
