Yes, I'm one of THOSE people now...

Seemingly overnight I was changed in a rather significant way.  As mentioned in the previous post, I've spent much of the last few years just moving day to day, and basically just organizing my life's events mentally, or when pressed for time I'd utilize the oh-so-handy to-do list -- often scrawled on some random scrap from my bedroom floor.

It quickly became apparent to me after I moved out here and started going to all these random school-related events, that I would need a new system.  So after toying with the idea of buying a big wall calendar, I realized that all along I've had a very handy program on my MacBook called iCal.  It's a pretty straightforward calendaring program.  But the how I changed isn't really important, it's the how long that is significant here.

I think this change, is almost definitely a permanent one.  I foresee the addition to my vernacular of many a typical logistical phrase heard in office settings like,

"Yeah, let me just check my schedule and pencil you in for the first available time."

OR

"Let's coordinate our calendars and get this taken care of."

OR

"Oh, I'm sorry.  I'm looking at my calendar, and that day just won't work.  How about the following Wednesday?"

The thing that's weirding me out is that I'm going to be hearing, and saying, these kinds of phrases probably for the rest of my working life.  I'm one of those people now.  I just don't really see a time in my near future when I'm going to have abundant time off such that I won't need some sort of schedule.  I did this on my mission, I suppose, but that lacked the permanence of this change.  Not a big deal, but you know, just one of those simple life changes that are required when someone finally starts doing grown-up things.

I'm excited.  While I am up kind of late right now, I actually get to sleep for a full 8 hours tonight!  Woohoo!  Best be getting to sleep.

Uh, I'm not too sure I actually arrived at any point for you to read this post.......... k, bye.

 

Utah State University starts school on Monday... OH! THAT INCLUDES ME!!!

Do you know what you see here to the left of this text? HARDCORE DENIAL! (And an example of my uncanny photogenic nature.) I really have been in denial that I'm moving to Logan tomorrow... oh... well it's past midnight. I guess I'm moving to Logan today. Whatever, anyway, I think some great evidence about this denial is that I haven't even mentioned that I'm going back to school on this blog. And I'm usually scraping the bottom of my idea barrel for crap to write on here. So... yes. I have school on Monday. There. I said it. ARE YOU HAPPY!!!?
I hope that I can get everything figured out and that I don't forget to do stuff. Forgetting things really is not great. I have a lot to do, too. My mom offered to take me to Costco to buy food n' stuff. She's a kind gal. I have issues with Costco though. I think that Costco has successfully duped thousands of moms into thinking that they're somehow saving money on all those vats and massive crates of products. (Or twin packs, those seem common.) I watched as we purchased not any great number of various types of products, but paid an UNHEALTHY amount for one cart of groceries. I asked my mom if she always spends that much, and she said, "Yeah, well... it's probably usually more." I can't believe this Costco place! The reason I think it is one big fat ripoff is that I watch my mom buy so many things in bulk, ESPECIALLY PRODUCE, and she ends up throwing half or even more of it away when it rots because the three occupants of this household just couldn't consume all of it. It drives me crazy. Oh well, it's her money. Not mine. Thanks again Mom for the food! (I made sure to try and purchase stuff that I'll actually use in its entirety.)
(Remember how my denial just kicked in again and I forgot that I'm supposed to be writing something about how I'm going to start being motivated right now to hurry and figure out everything I need to accomplish before going to Logan... yeah... well... I forgot that.)

I feel like this entry has crashed and burned. Abandoned
