I eat success for breakfast.
The greatest, and at the same time saddest, thing about to-do lists is the vindictive pleasure I get from crossing off every task. All that is left for me to do before winter break (I am, technically, allowed to say Christmas break, as I go to a Jesuit university where the Christian religion is not hid in a closet masked by fake secularism) is to finish proofreading ma dissertation finale (i.e., re-reading it 5437819456 more times) and then I shall have three days to cram an entire semester's worth of Chinese into my lackluster lobe.
In less successful news, I spent $53 at Barnes & Noble today for three people's presents. This is clearly unacceptable and cannot continue. I'm planning on going into the call center this week despite exams, as we get paid time and a half. I apparently now more than ever desperately need it.
PS--for any tea lovers who happen to be reading this, visit Special Teas and use the promotional code HOLIDAY6 to receive free shipping (if you order before the 12th. Um, tomorrow). They also give you free samples of tea, so in addition to my just-ordered, non-generic, flavored Earl Grey tea, I will also be getting a sample of some belovèd Irish Breakfast Tea.
