A monkey told me poop is like poker; you gotta know when to hold it, you gotta know when to throw it

Ethan will be getting up in about a half hour.

We're are but a few days into our last month in this house. I will move to Madison by May Day, yet Ethan has another month of school yet, as his last day is June 9th. If all plans work out (knock on wood) I will be working days by then, with weekends off. Ethan will spend weekend with me over the summer, the weeks with his mum. When school starts in the fall, we will switch and he will spend his weeks with me and weekends with her.

It's a big shift.

I'm still waiting to hear from UW-Madison about my enrollment. Other people I know have gotten their acceptance already, so I am prone to worry, but I must remember that I submitted mine at the last possible day, so I will know if I got in or not at the end of the cue.

So much is in the air right now, it's hard to settle down and concentrate on anything. I find myself making icons and watching movies because it's effortless. I want to be working on my Jack Shoegazer novel, but I can't get into that level with my mind constantly fluttering to moving plans and starting school and finances and merging decorating styles.

I just realized I haven't bought a calendar this year. I still have December 2005's picture of an abandoned hair salon hanging on the wall above my computer, reminding me I had off for New Years Eve, but worked on Christmas.

I need to start packing.

Oh, I posted another update in iconomicon.

Which program did you apply to?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I don't think I picked a program. I'll only be an undergrad and I am still undecided about what I am going for. Most likely my concentration will be on writing, but when looking at courses offered and whatnot, a lot of what I want to take falls under anthropology :P

Ah, I see. I was an anthropology major in an other life...

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

Ditto! Or, rather, I almost was in THIS life, for that matter.

I majored in it my first year at UVM, was the department lackey and minored in it :)

Kurt Vonnegut got a masters in anthropology :/

George Lucas studied it as well :)

Orson Scott Card got his degree in history or theatre, I can't remember which, but he and Stephen King both say the worst thing a writer can do is take a creative writing course :P
