divine angst

I got my first piece of mail in weeks from my new school—a note confirming receipt of my tuition deposit. Oh, goody.

Thankfully I should start receiving more mail from them in the near future: orientation schedules, new student information, fancy pieces of paper that I can insert into my handy admitted students’ binder. Whee! I like binders!

Meanwhile, I’m fighting a low-grade headache, and have been for the last several days. I’m sure it only contributed to yesterday’s deep exhaustion. We’ll see if I can kick it out with some Aleve a little later. Right now, I’m treating with caffeine, which is sometimes works.

And back to the grind.

Hard to believe, but it’s true. I start law school (OK, orientation) in 99 days.

How can that be? I still have a huge list of things to do:

1. Find an apartment in Our New City

2. Apply for student loans (though I’m still waiting on my final financial aid package to do this)
3. Get a tan (haven’t been to the pool yet, darn it!)
4. Read the Constitution (the only law-related summer reading I’m going to do, since I haven’t read it since high school)
5. Start taking an Aikido class (Mr. Angst practices Aikido, and this is something we could do together in Our New City)
6. Plan our going-away party

That’s a lot of stuff! And only 99 days to do it in! (Less, actually, since we’ll be moving before those 99 days are up. Eeek!)

Are there any other things I should do this summer? Things I should do NOW that I won’t have time to do this fall? Or things I should do NOW to prepare myself more fully for school or student life or the dramatic climatic change we are facing?
