just add water

Today has been a busy day.  

I had my exit interview, during which my counselor and I discussed my employment prospects and I got excited about the future. 

Then I went to Design Studio an acquired three new tasks to add to my to-do list during a client meeting and another one during the tail end of class. 

I had my financial aid exit interview, during which my counselor and I discussed how much money I now owe, and I got less excited about my future.  On the other hand, I became much more motivated to get a job and to really promote myself.  

I approved the layout for the laser etching on my portfolio case. 

I plan to spend the rest of the evening getting my submission for AIGA ready and working on the first two pages of the illustrated 'children's book' I need to have finished within five weeks.  I think if I can have 2 spreads (four pages) per week done, I might just make it.  

Every time I think I'm on track and should be okay so long as I stick to my schedule...I scroll down my to-do list and find something I have forgotten about.  

Today is cold and dreary and damp...the chill is seeping into my fingers, so now I'm going inside.
