Close to the Edge

[mlerules]

Got a sh!tload done today. Have a smaller sh!tload to complete o'morrow. Two (2) biggish things to do, plus one (1) miracle. Excuse the mixed metaphor, but I must pull something magical outta my butt and/or fabricate something outta whole cloth o'morrow. May visit UCLA and/or USC law school since my ventures on-line have proved fruitless. Can't focus on't much now as it scares the living bejeesus outta me how ill-prepared for it I am yet I must deal w/it before the thing's due on Friday. Took a good break this eve to watch the last 2 but 1 episodes of Firefly. Only one (1) more to go, sniff, although there're also extras on the final DVD which could prove innaresting. Then I've gotta wait 'til SEPTEMBER for the flim, which several folks I know have already seen! (Green eyed monster alert.) I've gotta check my sources and find a screening before then or I may explode! In the meantime, it's sleeby-by time. Prolly gonna be up at the butt-crack o' dawn to get on with the show. Remaining chores: type up lesson plan/procedure for choral reading thingieambob or merely stick the appropriate write-up into the Artifact Reflection, which I must dream up and type up nine (9) of o'morrow. This requires me to to rip language outtta the requirements and stick it into the write-up of what I've supposedly spent my time this past semester doing. Yawn, yet necessary. Then I've gotta come up with six (6) Individual Induction Plan goals which must be objectively obervable and doable over the next two (2) years of teaching. And then: the aforementioned MIRACLE. Need at least a few hours of sleep before the next session. I'm so close to the end I can smell it, can taste, it, can feeeeel it. But I'm not there yet and must not give in to the pleasure of being done 'til I'm actually done - and it's turned in to the box in the office at CSUN. So close...yet still so far. All digits must remain crossed 'til further notice. Beach walk o'morrow appears highly unlikely, unless an early miracle occurs.
