Almost.

Almost there.
I hate getting up early. And 3am is officially early.
I've been doing errands, packing and wrestling laundry most of the day.
I should be studying.
Seriously, what else am I going to be doing tomorrow while traveling?
I hate flying.
With a passion.
And 5 hours in the air just on one flight freaks me out.
So I'll be reading stats, reviewing APA stuff and finishing reading assignments.
In the air. For a long time.
Somehow my seat choice got screwed up on the flight to LA and I was going to be assigned at the gate. Um, no. 8 unassigned seats left. I'm sitting in the window, bitches.
I cannot fly any other way.
I get airsick if I can't see the window.
Shaun lets me look past him because he always gets the window.
But I digress. ADD is off the charts today.
I keep starting and stopping things because nothing is all in one place.
I can't find my headphones and I forgot to buy nose spray.
I did buy four pairs of jeans yesterday, though.
Cute ones. Except one pair, which I took back.
I just know I'm going to forget something.

Part of me tells me I'm over preparing. The other part reminds me how high expectations are of doctoral students.
Part of me says that this is orientation and wants to know how badly I can really screw up. The other part reminds me how I've screwed up in the past.
Part of me wants to just skip the stats exam since I'm going to take the class anyway. The other part reminds me that I can get feedback in the areas where I need work. Which would be all but the basics, yo.
Iv'e done my master's already, but I went straight through.
I know I can do this.
Want to know a secret?
It's the unknown, unfamiliar that scares the shit out of me more than anything... even though I usually come out on the good end of things.
I know I'm going to forget something.
Just let it be something not that important this time, okay Karma?
