Wednesday To-Do List

Boring, but maybe this will help me stay focused:

Morning:
1. Get up by 8 a.m. no matter what!
2. Finish up rewrite on Chapters 7, 8 and 9.
3. Use new juicer and make green juice for the day (got my new juicer today! whee!) They came out great! I made one for my daughter, and two for me.
4. Lunchtime! Eat spinach and avocado salad, swai
5. Clean kitchen

Oops, 3. hasn't happened yet... First thing after lunch!

Afternoon:
1. Finish reading last article for class
2. Write out 3 discussion questions and thinky thoughts - last time! :*( [okay :*) really]
3. Hammer out rough outline for final exam paper (4-6 pages over this question: Use your assigned readings, our discussions, lectures, and films (from the second half of our class) to reflect on what you have learned about how colonized peoples dealt with asymmetrical power relations in constructing their layered identities. You may choose to focus on actual people (Frantz Fanon, Osman Hamdi Bey, etc.), or the fictionalized characters that different authors and filmmakers created to convey their ideas, or both. This paper should be about 4 to 6 pages long.) I am choosing to focus on the Filipino peoples, and the movie Dubai (about Filipinos in Dubai) which we watched in class and I brought home to finish watching. Due December 15th by midnight.

Evening:
1. Go buy new black pants
2. Prepare lunch and juice for tomorrow
3. Get clothes ready for work (I work at Unnamed Law Firm again tomorrow)
4. Begin work on Chapter 10
5. Bedtime - 11 p.m., no later

And that will be my day tomorrow. Goodnight!

What I will NOT do tomorrow:
1. Let the blues get me - CHECK!
2. Graze - Well...
3. Watch shows all day - Watched two
4. Crawl into bed - CHECK!

Tomorrow should be very productive! Yup yup yup!


All in all, am a happy camper with the day. Those darn discussion questions always take longer than I expect. But, they are done! YAY!!!

Maybe half the battle to getting things done is convincing oneself that one CAN get things done?

It is! And my brain would not stop thinking about it last night. I will very much miss this amazing class, and professor. Life-changing, definitely. :)

I find jotting all the things I need to do down gives me a bit of extra motivation!

Go go go on the productivity! ♥
