Things To Do
Oct. 21st, 2009 03:17 pmNo, not really a "to-do" list.
I'm so bored. I have no job, unless you count the four hours on Saturday mornings. My last paycheck was for $31.25. I'm not sure that counts as a job. Finding another job is going to be really, really hard - jobs are hard to come by on the off-season around here, and really... I don't need a job. I'm just bored.
I am determined not to just wander around in a morass of boredom until... April.
So... things I can do:
1. Organize/clean the house. Except I've already done that several times over.
2. Buy things. I'm trying to avoid this - cause then I will need a job.
3. Work on that podfic I said I'd do - this takes a whole lot of time. I'm definitely doing this.
4. Work on my Harry Potter fic, which I didn't want to post chapter by chapter before because I figured I was leaving the country before it would be finished, and I didn't want to leave with it only partly done. I can totally do this.
5. Sit in the bookstore and read all the books. I do this all the time - too bad I can't work in the bookstore. They're not hiring. In fact, they have a waiting list. I already asked.
6. Do NaNoWriMo this year. Definitely doing this one.
7. Take a class. I was a little stuck on the fact that it would cost me $1200 to take one class, but... I only need one more class for a Spanish certificate. I'm not sure I have any use for a certificate to prove I speak Spanish - I have a Mexican last name, usually people just assume - but I can hang it up next to my GED or something. I don't know. I might do this. I also thought maybe I could audit the Chinese Elements II class - I already took this class, but it would be like a refresh/review/practice thing. I don't want to actually re-take it (if that's even possible) cause it seems I got a good grade in it, too, although I don't even remember taking the final and thought that I had dropped the class. It doesn't cost much to audit a class and since I don't have any use for the credits, just, you know, the information... that's a possibility too.
8. I don't have a number eight. And I doubt very much that this is enough to occupy me for six months. Two classes, yeah, that'll be enough, what with traveling back and forth to get to them and stuff. So really it's just until January that I'm going to be bored out of my mind.
9. Oh here's an idea: Buy a TV. Or, buy a new laptop. Or both. But... then I'd need a job, to, you know, pay for all that. And if I had a job... I wouldn't be so bored!
Edit: 10. Take a class at the gym! I do belong to a gym... I do go there. I swim in the pool. I stretch there. I work out there. They have tons and tons of classes they offer. I know they offer an adaptive yoga class. I dunno what else, but most of the beginning-level classes have a disclaimer saying that people of any ability are welcome - I know absolutely NOTHING about adaptive yoga, aerobics, x, y, z, or anything else. My stance has always been, I don't do adaptive anything because I hate playing sports. Last I checked, yoga is not a sport. So that's worth looking into.
Edit (again): Learn to play the ukelele. Not that I have one. But I could get one... that'd be fun.
