Update.
Mike came home last night before expected and I actually got some stuff done!
I set up my new filing system on my desk, and went through some stuff to toss.
Then I completed the first unit of my Orientation Course. There are 10 Units and the first one was an hour long. I'm glad I started early.
Tonight I will have my conversation with my adviser and really get moving on getting ready.
Book related news: I actually read my goal reading last night, plus a little bit more! I did cut back on my assignments, so it wasn't so daunting a task this time.
That's all I got. I'm going to go vote!
