Focus

Ok, so I finally remembered to pay attention to my dreams this morning and realized I’m nowhere near focused.  I had one of those ‘trying to shoot things but missing’ dreams, which shows a lack of focus.  Thankfully I’m not trying to shoot mortars and stuff in real life, because people don’t appreciate having to duck and cover when you’re not focused and hit the ceiling of the room.

So, today we’re going to the interactive festival at SXSW because my friend Leila had extra day passes.  It should be interesting, even if it’s not exactly my area of expertise and all.  But that’s ok because there is free stuff.  Plus, there’s that excitement that comes when SXSW comes to town and everyone is hoping to find the next big thing (or be it).

Then, I have an agenda for the day.  I’m going to grade the exams I handed out before break.  Last night I made the answer key, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.  I’m also going to research my geophysics paper and hopefully come up with the three references or so that I need.  It’s just a little tricky to figure out what to search for in the journals.  I may just jump to google scholar and then use the library to find the full texts I need.  Then hopefully I can get this thing started tomorrow.  It’s to be written in standard journal format, which makes it a little wierd, since I’ve never done a summary article like this, but it also should be easy.  Having a format tends to make things a bit easier once you settle in.

Hopefully this is what I’ll get accomplished, and what I’ll need to focus and keep things moving.  I definitely don’t want to be stressing on sunday!
