“Don't forget you are going to help me plan my future tonight, okay?” I yell up to Abie's loft while she's trying to have an international conversation.
“I know, we're going to get high and plan your future.
“Not in that order, though.”
The basic idea (with some can't-talk-about-it-yet ulterior motives) was to map out what I have left to take in order to just graduate, already!
Abie, my dear Abie, did all of the legwork, and I sat and watched her, confused. I am indebted to the redhead, of course. She figured most of it out.
I'm putting it in writing so I have to commit to it: if I'm not out by December of 2007, I will most certainly be out by May of 2008. This is going to happen by picking the pace back up just a bit, taking summer classes, and a fair amount of determination on my part.
Now that I have a date, an idea of what I have to do, I'm much more motivated to go ahead and knock it out. Its not an impassable obstacle but just some hurdles to jump. No problem.
“Abie, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to graduate.”
