She's a maniac, maniac (about school): the Dead Week Remix

Things upon which Teddy's sanity, grades, and pocketbook (in as much as she actually possesses these items), are currently dependent:

• Lists: I have at least five lists scattering my desk at the moment, making sure I can't forget anything. Like, you know, washing towels. Or buying food. Or finishing up five classes worth of work. Stuff like that.
  
• Calendars: Have also four calendars going at the moment. My school planner, which lets me see a week's worth of assignments at a time. My Lonely Planet daily planner, which keeps me on top of non-school-related items like birthdays, Sundays in Advent, and what day of the week it is. My normal wall calendar, which lets me see a month a a time, and is marked up with exams and important due dates (the next two weeks are pretty heavily written over.) Lastly, my own personally constructed calendar of last Thursday until next Wednesday, when my last final is. It has a carefully outlined timeline of each day. Just in case.
  
• Tea: It's hot, sweet, and (for all intents and purposes), free. Yes, I'll take some.
• My electric blanket (thank you Teresa!): Like tea, keeps me warm. Unlike tea, stays warm for ten hours and doesn't get things wet if I try to snuggle with it.
• Extended library hours: From tomorrow on, the library and Student Union are going to be open, while not 24 hours, close enough for my purposes. I shall be mainly living on campus (free heating and fewer distractions, though the food is more expensive) for the next 10 days, so having places to go is...handy.
• Macaroni and Cheese: Self explanatory. And nice. Though I have this niggling fear that once I get out of college it (along with honey nut cheerios, and graham crackers) will be something I just won't be able to stomach for a decade. Ah well. it works for now.
  

Also, there's currently a brightly lit-up, horse drawn carriage trotting down the Esplanade. That's...kinda weird. Hope they don't get splatted by a Hummer, of which there are a surprising number in Chico.

It's been about 42 F here all day. That's a bit nippy; I'm glad it's supposed to warm up a bit the next couple of days.

In other news, here's something for Mom. I know what you're watching tonight...



And for Dad:
