Calm Down, Turbo


On Thursday, three people told me to relax, including a complete stranger. (To be fair, I was picking up my checked bags outside the bookstore – I heft around two bags full of books everywhere, which would seem excessive, but that’s only a small amount of the total material that I need for my five classes. The rest I keep in my locker at MESA and looking rather harried.  The guy to whom I exchanged my number for my bags observed me, kind of an up and down, then said carefully, “Have a . . . relaxed . . . day.”)

I have memory problems I think, because unless I write something down I can guarantee that it will be forgotten almost immediately.



So I keep a notebook checklist of things I need to do. Here’s a look at a day in my “list”:
  • Make flyers for new website
