Quickie...

Yikes!!! It seems that, while I am rather adept at listing and complaining about all the things I need to get done over the next two weeks, I am somewhat less than competent when it comes to seeing the actual crisis that is looming. It struck me rather hard today as I was driving home that I have a somewhat ungodly amount of work that must be done. And two of those things need to be done for tomorrow.

Thing the first: I probably should take a look at the Power Point Presentation that was emailed to me today since I have to stand up in front of my entire class tomorrow night and deliver a scintillating explanation of the things one must consider as possible hindrances to the implementation of a Peer Mentoring Program in the schools. As I've mentioned in previous posts, my work group for this project has a tendency to bulldoze over those of us who might have differing opinions about the direction in which we should be heading. Hence, there have been a number of meetings that have happened without a Sheepie presence. I have no clue whatsoever what I am supposed to be doing.

Thing the second: I need to finish at least one of the papers that is due by next week. I really don't want to be stuck doing this all weekend. Of the two, the easiest is the final draft of my Philosophy of Supervision paper since I already have a first draft and the professor's notes on what she'd like to see me revise. There can be cutting and pasting. I like cutting and pasting. Cutting and pasting is like rewriting without all that bothersome typing. If I focus reeeeeeally hard, I might just be able to finish this thing and hand it in tomorrow night, leaving only one paper dangling in the breezes of procrastination.

And it's not like I've been finishing any of the knitting and spinning lately. So, I figure I can post a quickie tonight and maybe distract people from the fact that my knitting blog has become somewhat fiber-free of late. Perhaps we could pretend that this is a cooking blog? Just for tonight? I'd really appreciate your flexibility on this one. I'm sorta drowning here...

My insurance company has a rewards program that awards a good little Sheepie points for recording her weekly exercise. With diligent attention to healthy living and remembering to update my rewards site, I was able to amass enough points to earn this:

A Panini Grill!!! Whoooo Hoooooo!!!!!!

After months and months of bike-riding, lifting and walking, I was able to make myself a nice, healthy veggie panini tonight for my dinner. I am now all fortified for the work that lies ahead. Actually, it was rather filling and I'm kind of sleepy. But I'm sure that all those vitamins and whatnot will soon be racing to my brain cells and plumping them up with all sorts of great thoughts worthy of my paper.

Yup...any minute now.
