Clearing The Head

I have taken tonight off of work due to someone wanting an extra day, and because I feel like I need to clear my head.

Let me try to do some spring cleaning. In my head.

Hopefully this week's NISB schedule will be determined. I know I'm having Newark/Somonauk Baseball covered on Tuesday, as well as DeKalb/Hononegah softball on Saturday. One more game is pending. Heck, I'm trying to sort out the week after. There are some good ones, really good ones that make me want to give in to this hiatus I'm taking from covering things.

In the six years I've run the website, I only took one extended break. That was for a month during the spring of 2006. I'm in the middle of a one-month break right now. The Lutheran-Freeport soccer game is like a triple whopper with cheese right now.

But back to reality, I have a speech test to study for on Wednesday morning. I'm going to visit grandpa on Tuesday. I'll need to build up my final speech on Wednesday night. It's the "value" speech.

Then there's the Graphic Design class. I'm headed there in a couple of hours (as of this writing). I have 12 more classes. I have five more assignments. One will be completed today. When I get done with class today I will have a completion timetable. As I mentioned many times before, just passing the class is the goal. By Wednesday night I should have a timetable for the rest of speech class, and therefore a timetable for the rest of the semester. The speech will be done on May 12. The GD will be done on May 13. Graduation rehersal is at 5:30 on the 13th. Ceremony is on Friday night.

So there'll be an academic gridlock.

Here's the week:

Monday: GD class and get that one assignment done. Figure out a timetable for that class. Pick up graduation announcements. Finalize NISB assignments. Get honor roll updated to include all weekend events.

Tuesday: Study for speech test in the morning. Visit a speaker with grandpa that night. Edit/post baseball game article.

Wednesday: GD class. SVCC assessment test. Speech test. Final speech preperation and timetable figured. Possible story editing/posting.

Thursday: Friday 5 pre-write. Work. Calculate budget. Sierra Mist instead of Mountain Dew. Friday 5 written. Sleep!

Friday: GD class. Possible road trip dinner. Academic update.

Saturday: Work "death shift" from 12-9. Edit/post softball game article.

Sunday: Work from 12-5. Possible road trip dinner. Determine NISB coverage schedule.
