Spring break plans

This spring break, I'm handicapped a bit by my lost ATM Visa card, which I never realized I used so much. I called and reported it missing three weeks ago, but they never sent a replacement. Someone screwed up, and they're now fed-exing it to me, but not until Tuesday. So I can't really do any traveling until then. Then, I have a friend coming from out of town on Thursday who I would really like to see, and am required to work at the restaurant both Friday night and Saturday night because of a server in the hospital. Thus, I can't really get home to Michigan, as much as I want to. My hands are tied. Therefore, I'm going to be spending my break at home.

Last night I had a blowout, which gives me my first task for today - get a new tire. I'm going to head and do that next.

Monday and Tuesday tasks:
1. Get new tires.
2. Get new breaks. ($261 for both.)
3. Buy a tax program and do my taxes.
4. Buy a printer cable.
5. Mow the lawn.
6. Clean out the car.
7. Get laundry together.
8. Read at least 100 pages of The Book of Fred; the author is visiting the school next week.
9. Pay BGE bills.
10. Go to DMV. (did it all online. I've got to hand it to them, it was very convenient.)
11. Go to school and clean out the locker room. Add some shelves.
12. Get Outward Bound stuff together. I'm considering putting a donation button on this blog to help offset the cost for the kids.

If I do all these things, I'll have plenty of time to do things I want to do to relax, namely the following:

1. Watch the Tigers home opener today at 1 o'clock.
2. Go see my first Nationals game on Thursday. Hang out with John and Danielle afterwards.
3. Find some sort of live music to go to. I'm considering Bruce in the USA on Sunday night.
4. Read a couple of novels.
5. Watch some movies. Flight Plan is on my dresser and Inside Man is in the theaters, so maybe it could be a Jodie Foster week - something I'm definitely not opposed to.
6. Do some gardening.
7. Hang out with friends.

And, all of this is designed to do the following:
1. Gain perspective on and figure out how in the hell I'm going to handle the bullshit political situation I'm mired in at school.

Spring break rocks.
