Lather, Rinse, Repeat

First thing I need to do today:

Go to Webster, get stuff taken care of.

Second thing I need to do today:

Call Sallie Mae, get stuff taken care of.

Third thing I need to do today:

Sleep.

Funny, I think I go through this pattern at least every semester... different reasons each time, but every semester.

Slight deviation for my long-term necessities, though.

Things to do this month...

• Start my loans... darn them. Together, they shall make me cry.
  
• Find out about financial aid for college from work, because I know they can and will do right by me. I'm too close for me to lose out now due to lack of money.
  
• Call H&R block... I'm not falling behind this year on taxes. No way in heck. And I'll see if they can make my back taxes work right, because I've been apparently owing more than I should.
• Buy Professor Sempreora an apple.
• Re-consider the possibility of a second job, because having "just under enough" money sucks slightly less than not having any money.
  
• Go to Jefferson Barracks, visit mom and grandpa's graves... (Athenae, a little help with this one? God help me, but I don't want to go alone... I don't ever want to go alone again...)
  
• Discard the possibility of a second job, because having a second job may entail going without sleep... or school... which is not an option at the moment.
  
• Cross your fingers, and hope for the best outcome in all possible situations.

Amen.
