Things to & not to anticipate.

I am having a potluck party on Saturday to celebrate my birth, I'm excited.
I'm excited for the exec's secret santa exchange that requires writing a poem.
I'm very much anticipating my & Cheryl's trip to Chicago on Dec 13&14. She is a flight attendant so the flight is stupidly cheap. I am so thankful that I'm able to return to the city I love for a second time in a year! and in an Obama-elected Chicago.. oh my goshhhh!

I am not enjoying waking up everyday with a headache requiring tylenol.
I fully acknowledge I am drinking too much caffeine as of late, and am faultily considering lattes a meal.
I am anxious about this important paper due Friday & big presentation Wednesday. There is simply no time.
I am not looking forward to working 8pm to 8am tonight, amidst my piles of homework. Worst. Timing. Ever.
I am not anticipating staying up all night Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday... which seems very viable.

Okay, Naomi, let's try to do some work...
