My Life on a Post-it Note

As much as I have enjoyed my delusion that now that I am done with coursework, I have nothing to do except teach, I knew that it would crumble shortly. In fact, I made an appointment last week with my advisor in order to talk about what exactly I was supposed to be doing this semester. Even though I had a pretty good idea what I needed to do, sadly I can no longer claim ignorance of goals. I left with my academic life (for the next six months or so) planned out an a post-it.

Here is my post-it...

In some ways, I feel much better about having a plan, but when I told R that I needed goals and deadlines I was hoping for a few less goals and deadlines.
