So, I have recently decided on two small but non-trivial life changes I will be making in the near future (i.e. within the next month).
1. I am going to QUIT MY JOB on/around the first week of December!
This is pretty big for me; this has been my only off-campus job my entire college career. I've been there for 2 1/2 years, and I was expecting to stay there until I graduated. Or until I moved. Or maybe died from server doldrums. But after weeks of daydreaming about quitting (working 8 hour shifts until midnight or two in the morning on school nights is less than optimal), I started to seriously run the numbers, and between what I save this semester, my scholarships and student loans, and the pittance from my student job, I (think that I) can actually pull it off-- and not have to work my last semester of school! Excite! The only downside it that I won't really have money saved up before I graduate, which means I'll probably have to spend some more time working here over the summer or beyond before I can move to a Real City.
That's the bigger change, and now that I only have T-minus 5 weeks, I am really chomping at the bit to get out of there.
2. I am going to start buying one (two?) books of newly(ish) published poetry a month.
Less dramatic, but still an important resolution. More words need to go in my brain, and those words should be new and fresh and innovative and all those other buzzwords. Not that Anne Sexton and T.S. Eliot are losing their places on my bookshelf, but One Must Be Current.
Well, more class now. More procrastination later.
