Think of this as a pre-goals post, maybe.
Going to the university again means having more options available to me.
- I can use the fitness center to work out, if I want. I haven't decided; walking back and forth is still hard enough that I'm not sure it'll really help any more than that. But it's a good idea, at least for the future, to get back into lifting weights. I feel better when I do that.
- During the semester, the music practice rooms are limited to students, not necessarily music students. So I could theoretically use them to practice piano again. It's been a long time since I've seriously tried to play piano. I tried to practice on keyboard, when it could receive power (for some reason none of the AC adaptors I tried work on it anymore,) but there's not really room for it in the house anymore.)
- There's art, of course. I definitely want to keep working on that. I just need to make the time for it, and find out where my box of art supplies went.
Those are all wants. Things I need to do are below:
- Make a follow-up appointment for the examination that determined that I was not, in fact, going to die of cancer.
- Get my eyes examined. This one's hard - I'm terrified of having foreign objects near my eyes, which makes some of the tests they do difficult. But I have a family history of eye problems. I need to be sure, even if it means asking my SO to take off work for a morning and hold my hand through it.)
- Clean the damn house. Seriously, I need to do some laundry, and we need to come up with a system to get it put away when we wash it. Not sure why that's hard.
- On that note, clean the house in general enough so that they can wash the carpets. After the leaking of the AC unit for several weeks, it really, really needs to be done.
- Study, of course. Do well in school. This term's not turning out to be too difficult. Next term might be harder, but the real challenge begins when I get to the fall term and start studying the core computer engineering courses.
I'll figure out something more cohesive tomorrow. For now, it's nearly time for class.

I've been trying to get rid of most of the old/worn/ill-fitting stuff for myself, but every time we turn around one family member or another is sending us more. I know they mean well, and I appreciate them, but I wish they'd at least ask us first what it is we do need.
