Graduate School or Life?

I have a list of things to do a mile long this weekend. Some of which are for school some of which are for fun.

School Things     Write New Section of Writing Project Grade Students' Correspondence Portfolios Read for Indian Children's Lit Read for Technical Communication Read 1 Source and Write 1 Annotation for Indian Children's Lit

Life Things     Apply for Dream Job & Others Cook Fancy Dinner with/for Friends Attend Nerdy Harry Potter Fan-based Wizard Rock Concert Make Scones for Chris (He washed my car because I was having a bad day--love him!)

Today, I am prioritizing "Life Things," even though there is no way that I can get all the "School Things" done tomorrow. Oh well. Some of them can be done during the week, and I did spend half my morning preparing resources for the group project my students are currently working on.

On another note, what a cooking weekend!

I feel like I haven't spent time with Mariya and Lacey in a thousand years, so we're gathering to make a bulgur risotto with corn, shrimp, and red bell pepper for dinner. Nic, Christy, and Ryane are gonna be there, too! It's gonna be like old times when Nic and I were single--a couple of straight cats surrounded by lesbiens. Chris and Ashley won't be there, but we'll live since we'll be surrounded by awesome friends.

Tomorrow, I will bake the scones while I read for Indian Children's Literature. I have a lot of stuff I want to use up, so I'm going to make some white cheddar and dill scones, some banana walnut scone, and perhaps some chocolate & coconut scones. I'm excited, but kind of sad. Chris leaves for Omaha at the end of the month. When will I next get to butter him up with baked goods? :(

Okay...it's job application time!
