Sigh. For tonight, I'm ignoring it and writing. Tomorrow I'm gonna print the list off then go through it and mark out everything that's not really that crucial. Then I'll work up some kinda schedule to help me get it all done. I really have to remember that going back to school is an imaginary deadline and not some kind of barrier that I'll cross and then won't be able to work on any of this stuff anymore. I mean, chances are it'll be a couple of weeks before I have to start studying or researching anything. I always get myself so stressed out before a new semester begins over how I'm going to get everything done and maintain some semblance of sanity, and yet I always do. Things fall into place. So I'm really just being silly.

I really want to run to Sonic for dinner, just to get out of the house, but I probably don't have a car. My brother's car got stolen and he keeps borrowing mine. And my mom's not home so I can't borrow hers. So I think I'm stuck here. There's a chance he brought my car back and left it in the driveway without telling me (can't see my parking spot from any of our windows), but I'm not pinning any hopes on it.
