The To-Do List

Last night, Ned and I sat down with the calender and a pen, and circled, crossed out, and made notes on the next month of our lives.

We're at the point of counting down days, now. Oh, the point of no return.

Today I made a to-do list for today. I haven't kept a steady to-do list every day since college, and I don't want to get back into that too-busy mode of thinking and being. But I woke up this Saturday morning, made tea, and took Nina on a walk. When I got home, I felt like there were too many things swirling around my head.

So I sat down with a pencil and piece of paper, and wrote down:

grade Mongolian class 2 notebooks (35)

run

plan next week's lesson

wash Nina

study Chinese (Rosetta Stone)

I'm determined to finish the Rosetta Stone program Ned purchased, even if I don't use my skills back home.

So, as of now, I've graded about 20 notebooks, and that's it. It's 11am, and I hope by this evening, all my other goals are checked off the list.

oh, how I despise to-do lists. I would just like to see the day naturally unfold... especially on the weekend.
