Pain

It's 1:55AM. I have written 463 words of the 800- to 1,000-word profile that's due in my Art of the Profile class tomorrow night. I'm not going to the class, mind you, because Rosh Hashanah starts tomorrow night. I am, however, having lunch with the professor tomorrow -- it just so happens to be my turn -- so I really want to have it done by then. This is looking less and less likely, since I need to leave the house in less than 5 hours in order to make it to school tomorrow in time for my RWI drill. And did I mention that I'm not particularly prepared for our news quiz? Or that I've only done half of the assigned reading for the Profiles class? This wouldn't be a big deal except that we are expected to turn in comments on what we've read. Oh, and it goes without saying that I'm also behind on our next RWI assignment.

On the positive side:

Zach went out and bought me a desk yesterday and then very ably put it together while I was up at school, meeting with my master's advisor for the first time and trying to ge less behind on the RWI assignment. This should make a huge difference in recovering from my repetitive-strain injury.

I made a lot of progress today, with Zach's help, in building my personal website for my New Media Skills class. It's due this week, and I had just about nothing done on it until today. I will post a link as soon as it is ready for prime time (or late night, as the case may be).

(This one's for Zach) The Redskins won in overtime, giving them a 3-0 start for the season. The last time they had a 3-0 start (a long, long time ago), they went to the Superbowl (and won!).

On the negative side:

I am exquisitely screwed.
