I think it's safe to say that yesterday was a total fail. I swore to myself that I would never be one to say I was too busy to do something, especially something that seems so simple. I had to break that promise to myself yesterday and put more important things before my blog. I continued to do so all day, until it got to be 11:00 and I was beyond ready for bed. It happens. I normally wouldn't be so consumed on a typical Monday. However, with a visitor coming to the city at the end of the week that I want to clear my schedule for, and 2 presentations to give before that, I had no option. I was confined to the small space around my computer, only leaving to pour another cup of coffee. And I'm still not done. One of the projects (the smaller of the two) will be over and done with at approximately 6:30 tonight. Although giving speeches are a breeze for me, there is still the annoyance of doing it hanging over my head. The bigger project won't exit my life until Thursday morning, putting a damper on life until then. But, this is what I signed up for, after all. And I'm okay with it. I'll be even more okay with it when March of 2012 rolls around and I can cross another thing off of my bucket list.
Today started out very well. It is another warm day in the city, once again too warm for October. You can definitely tell who didn't check the weather before dressing themselves this morning and who did. Everyone is itching to wear their new fall clothes, and is too stubborn to let them sit in the closet until the temperature drops considerably. It reminds me of the first day of school. Everyone wanted to wear their new sweaters and jeans, and we did. Then we'd all sit miserably in the hot, stale classroom and sweat all day, ruining our fresh wardrobe. But we had to wear the new outfit that we had picked out weeks before school started. And we didn't learn, making the same mistake year after year. Yep, it's kind of like that.
Schoolwork is calling my name again. As much as I would like to tell it to shut up, I cannot.
