Plans of attack

What do I have to do today to make a happy result in May?

New Media:

I have obtained a copy of Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation. Obviously, I have to read it. What is Bradford's style? What does he think is important? He uses Scripture a great deal, to apply current events to what he thinks of God's purpose. What verses will he use to deal with what I have planned for him?

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..............

(Ahem)
I want to see how the practical pilgrims deal with these new situations for which they could not be prepared. I should also read Bradstreet's poem on that infernal experience she had.

Concerning the time left, I needed a straightforward work, and fewer voices. I looked at Middlemarch, but that is far too complex.

I must read Bradford every day, and write Bradford every day. He knows how to draw his readers into the story. I want the same.

NONFICTION:

I must write the research as I wait for the April 25 event. I should know what is done at the centre before I get there. I also need to reassemble the recorder. I need to make sure all my questions are planned out so as not to waste time.
I need to look at the class notes, to view the successful formats of reportage and follow those.

I need to see tangible progress. How?

I need to see pages I have created, and printouts of these.
I will demand of myself 1,000 words every day, for each project.

I also need to reread the material for the final in the Roh course.

Other bloggers have loving, supporting familes. I have none. I am the one who must pull this off.

Of course, there is the ultimate project: Impeach Obama!

Desert Warfare

I am here at Virginia Beach Campus.

I must do well in these last 2 courses. Then, in the Fall, it will be time for the Orals. I assume the USA will still be a going concern, now that the fascist Obama has his prize. If it is not, then I will not have to worry about the Orals, or anythng else.

In the Nonfiction course, I will need to have an essay on the state of my project with St. Mark's, and then the project itself. I will need to reassemble the digrec, and make sure it is in working order. I will need to fromulate my question, now, to avoid being a fool.

In the New Media course, I have a presentation in less than 2 weeks. I am not sure what to look for in literature on the sucbet. The Zombie Jim book I will have to get, but until the claim check comes in I can buy nothing. Then there is the paper, and I will have to look at the guidelines again.

Goalsetting is alien to me, but I must do it to survive. I should have learned the skill early in my life, but then, I was busily being Eaten, so I did not. I will have to do my best here. Goals help the focus. Perhaps I fear that I might be wrong. Well, I if I do not plan, I WILL be wrong.

The car problem did not help. With the worry and the logistics, I lost a lot of time and as a result, flunked the midterm. At least the points are close enough for redemption, or I would be finished. I am fighting deadlines, outside enemies, and ME.

I am envious of the Successful. The look of calm and focus on ther faces, the ease from having built a strong foundation; they are like trees planed near a river, and with deep roots. I am treading water, and getting weaker, with sharks circling.

Well, God does not want me to give up, but it would be nice to have a tangible reason to endure.
