Well, it's getting on midterm season, and yesterday and today I suffered for having procrastinated so much over the weekend. SO, new rule is: absolutely no webcomics for 1 month.

I think this should probably include manga, since that's sort've replacing webcomics in my affections.

... to be honest, you never end up rewarding yourself for the work that you DO get done.

that's because I consider the procrastination as a sort of pre-work reward, so I'm always trying to catch up on the work that should've earned me that reward.

But the stuff you do while procrastinating is not what you WANT to do. it's just an excuse to not do what you DON'T want to do.

True enough. I need to keep an eye on making sure my productivity and reward times are kept separate.

So, what do I drastically, vitally need to do tonight?

Organize (I did this at Louise's. woohoo!)
Arrange NCUR hotel (ACH! they are ALL full to the brim. goddammit! I sent an email off to NCUR with a plea for help, though).
Arrange to get notes for Shamanism , QM, and Cosmo that I'm missing.
Request off work for NCUR'y weekends, pieces of spring break.
Send another email about The Bluest Eye trip
Send Scifi Club Zombie Night and GeekTour emails
Look into WSGC's travel grant

Make updated list of late REU deadlines There are only 3
Email work about IDL, when I present, my paper, and UGSymp
Do a bunch of Shamanism reading (50 pages out of 140. Pretty good for one evening).
Arrange new dentist's appointment
Think up good questions to ask the dude from NRAO who called me, and email him
(an aside: I SCREAMED when I got off the phone talking to him; scared the crap out of the guinea pig by seizing her and twirling around my room in joy. It's not a job offer, not yet. But I think I definitely got on their short list. And I should know for sure by the end of the week. But It would look good if I could ask them some nice intelligent questions about the project.)

I was going to put "study QM and do QM homework" on the list, but considering it, I think I can get these things done and I think I should really try. And if I *DO* finish, I can reread QM lecture notes.

Stories I'm currently working on.

***Tbook1 (Time and Chaos, needs a new name, needs to be edited)

***Book of Sun (Just needs to be edited. Tis a Nano novel)

***Book of Whispers part 1 (Does not jive at all with part 2; needs to be rewritten to fit and to have less suckage)

***Book of Whispers part 2 (Needs some rehaul editing, needs some loose ends tied up, needs to fit)

***Book of Whispers part 3 (Needs to be finished... then needs to die o.o Not sure if I need a third part in the series)

***Dium's Story (Needs a point, progress, anything... needs to be integrated into Tbook1, since that is what it is a part of, mainly)

***Trio Story with Jackie and Louise (Maybe we should get together and work on this, guys)

***Demon Story (This is working out pretty good so far. I like the plot, it's a bit convoluted, and the characters are interesting)

***New Witch Story (It's only 30 pages long, dang)

***Dragon's Voices (This has SO much potential! wee!)
