Pre-School Checklist

Steph and I went out Saturday night, and one thing was made very clear, the students are back. Dickson Street was in mid-semester form. With the return of the students, it's time to get serious about getting ready to go back to school. I purposely took this week off to get some things done before going back to class, here's the list of things I need to get done this week....

  • Get some books. I like to get books early because it improves my chances of getting them used/cheaper.
  • Haircut. The beginning of the semester looks to include a lot of networking events, etc.
  • Dry-cleaning. Same reasoning as the haircut.
  • Spend some time getting bored. This sounds weird, but I am about to spend four months of not having the luxury of getting bored, I plan on taking full advantage.
  • Run as much as possible. Sometimes it's hard to find enough time to exercise as much as I'd like to during the semester.
  • Make a pizza for Steph.
  • Shop for school supplies. This is always fun for some reason. I think I just like getting new pens.
  • Work on my summer internship presentation and poster. I want to get a head start on this stuff because I don't want to have to worry about it as much the first week of school, which always seems super hectic.
  • Get a travel coffee mug. Contrary to popular belief, 8 o'clock classes are not awesome.
  • Possibly prepare for a garage sale. I love getting rid of "stuff".

One last thing, checked out a new restaurant in Fayetteville this past weekend, it is called Hammontree's Grilled Cheese . It was excellent. Of course, they serve grilled cheese, but they use really nice cheeses and offer an array of quality meats that can be added to your sandwich.
