All the separate streams of consciousness trading off places in my head right now:

Good, I made a separate mail folder for all my grad school stuff, and everything seems to be in order. Except where was the confirmation for applying to UNC? Oh yeah, and why hasn't Yale gotten my GRE scores yet? Very weird. Need to e-mail those two.

Maybe I can split the England and Ireland trips; that way I can still do the swim meet on the 15th. Maybe I can do Ireland over a weekend and make England be the longer break trip. If I do it soon, maybe the horseback riding beach trips will still be available. Gotta check EasyJet.

Oh, bah, I have to read a bunch of linguistics stuff and think up a somewhat intelligent-sounding question for it. Don't want to.

I have a Spanish test on Friday and I have to read about a million texts and basically look up every word I don't know and learn it well enough that it would come to mind during a fill-in-the-blank test. Ha.

I have to finish filling out these forms and give them back to the Zinkstuk people tonight at practice, but I don't want to give them my bank information until I know they'll give me a discount, since I'll only be here for half the season. Also, why didn't I get a Zinkstuk sticker on my Olympos card? This paper says I can't train without that. Does that mean I have to go back to Olympos? Now?

I still haven't paid anyone in Waddinxveen for swimming, and I keep forgetting to ask how much.

I have no food left except tea, a box of macaroni, and a few peanuts. Need to go to the Albert Heijn, but don't really have the initiative to get up off my butt.

I'm thirsty, but I want to finish what I'm doing before I get up.

I hate our washing machines. They take forever. And there are only three of them while there are 40 of us. Or maybe 80; I'm not sure if there are people living on the other side of the building or not. Anyway, I finally got both loads into washers, but now I need dryers. Grrr.
