mandolin: (homework)

The to-do list from hell, or why I've disappeared...

So, here's what I've got to somehow get done:

By Dec. 1st: MOST of Exercise 4 for Health Informatics so I can host people for the Anime Society marathon. Wanted to get it all done earlier, but one-sixth of that assignment took several hours. I'm in trouble.
By Dec. 5th: The rest of Exercise 4.
By Dec. 12th: Grad Student Exercise, Comment on someone else's Exercise 4, complete code and presentation for database group project, don't have a nervous breakdown.
By Dec. 14th: Finish all my Christmas cards.
By Dec. 16th: Get 13 9 (excepting the four who have replied) people to reply and tell me if and when they're coming to a potluck, get a consensus on the time, clean the house, move furniture, put up decorations and make the food I'm signed up to make.
By Dec. 19th: Study for final exam in Database. (Okay, that at least I'm not too worried about.)
By Dec. 24th: Gifts for everybody.
By January 1st: FIND A NEW GENERAL PRACTITIONER. Preferably one who knows about asthma and ADD (and doesn't either believe that they're all in my head or throws pills at everything). The online provider directory isn't worth a damn since apparently they list physical therapists as "general practice." Spent an hour and a half making phone calls and have already eliminated a ton of possibilities and I can only search by a distance radius.

Oh, and in the meantime, my hopes that the interim between the maintenance release and the next big project will be quiet? Pretty much dashed to hell as we now need to do an emergency Dec. 16th release. The front-end team and build management team for that one? Me.

So if I'm leaving everyone hanging in terms of RP, real life, responses, what have you, I'm sorry. Things are coming to a head. I just need to make it through the next two weeks in one piece.

Have that new GP prescribe two weeks in the Bahamas for you for after the first of the year. You deserve it.

Well, I'm thinking it won't be a shocking surprise if I call in sick on Dec. 13th...

If, by ADD you mean attention deficit disorder, I cannot help but wonder HOW it is you could NOT have ADD. Especially given your schedule. Sheesh!

Wow. Good luck with that.

I'd offer to help, but I'm not sure how useful I'd be, other than to say don't stress about the marathon (if you need the time for schoolwork, that's fine), and that early-arriving potluck-goers could easily be tapped for said furniture moving/holiday decorating/cooking, if need be...

I'm not worried about the potluck. I'm going to be WALKING ON AIR after the 12th. :)

It's just everything before then that's problematic.

Just how big *are* these exercises, anyway?

*hugs and gives chocolate* Good luck with all of that.

No worries. We all understand. Let me know if you get to Bel Air. If not, I will try to visit you once things settle down.
