keeping track: progressive steps toward an undergraduate university degree.

sometimes i need motivation. sometimes i need some sort of check to balance me. this is that check.

for the next sixteen days i will be updating nightly on my own progress toward that which i've been working for the last four and a half years. i'm not about to let the next two weeks keep me from that.

in order to make sure i'm not putting the important stuff off, i'll be keeping track of everything here. sleep hours, work hours, study hours, pages written, tests completed and food eaten. watch my health deteriorate as the papers accumulate. it should be riveting.

it will be marked since this past monday. the hours slept will be moderately skewed; since waking tuesday morning, i've had but six hours of rest. but enough of the prelude. on to the initial stats:

since monday, nov. 27:
hours slept - 14
hours worked - 25
hours studied - 19
pages written - 0
tests completed - 3
food eaten - (to be updated daily. i can't be expected to remember everything i've eaten since monday. know that it's consisted of much subway and burger king, naked juices, snickers bars, cherry pepsis and mountain dews.)
last visit home - wednesday, nov. 29, 9pm.

each subsequent post on this blog will begin with updated statistics. expect a post before bed each night.

...let it begin.


*EDIT: it's 3:14am. i'm leaving work, and i hope to be in bed by 3:45. i'll be surprised if i'm awake before the dn football game at 3:30 in the afternoon. hopefully i will already have started writing. we'll see.
