one down!

This evening I finished my first session at Chapman University. Hurray!

With the sudden drop off in work I suddenly perceive that I am awash in free time (odd that I didn't notice this free time before I started back to school...). That combined with a heart that still beats with ambition and momentum, I feel ready to

• re-take-up Spanish, and this time learn those 500,000+ palabras I missed the first time
• read at least nine books
• catch up with all of my friends around the world whose emails I have been putting little stars next to but not answering
  
• update all of our address/phone book
• write in my journal every day
• write poetry
• think about starting to run again but then reconsider
• order next session's textbooks and complain about how expensive they are
• memorize the Sermon on the Mount
• plan a surprise birthday party for Chrissy and then spoil it by mentioning it on this blog
• make lots and lots of frappuccinos
• write a long and completely self-indulgent list like this one

Tomorrow I begin my reading holiday, Lord willing. And I shall read what I wish to read and nary a textbook shall oppose these eyes.
