This entry will likely be interesting to no one and that is fine with me. It is a list of the things I need to get done for finals, and although the sheer magnitude of my laziness and lack of work ethic should be depressing and scary, making this list actually feels kind of nice. Even if it is long and arduous, I enjoy having a written set of objectives to complete. The list as presentation of presumed future progress makes me feel all, dare I say it, excited?
