miles, sleep, etc

I have set a new low in that I am getting on the plane in 11 hours and I have neither packed nor finished the paper that was theoretically due Friday. (Thereby hangs a tale, but it's too long to unfold right now.) I am also freaking out because I forgot to pick up my coat and boots that I was going to wear home to Jersey tomorrow--I can't even find my dry cleaning slip--and since I am not coming back until next month I am super paranoid that both places are going to straight up ditch my stuff. I made noises at my two roommates who will be here for all or most of the next four weeks, but neither one of them leapt to offer to pick up my items at any point in that time. There is nothing I can do about it except call and beg them to give me an extra week to pick the stuff up, I guess. Argh. No, the dry cleaners' opens at 7:30am tomorrow, and the shoe place opens at 9:00. I could totally get my shoes before I get on the BART. I guess I'm getting up at 7:00.

I did at least finish my grading at 7pm tonight. That's something, anyway.
