I didn't forget

Well, Thursday did not bear any time to listen to music...just sore feet and big piles of grading.

Friday, upon awakening and listing the tasks ahead, my panic mood screamed for Tom Waits. So when I assumed the position at 6:30 am in front of my work computer (students arrive at 7:45 am), I put on The Heart of Saturday Night, which guided my talking-out-loud analysis of a much needed purchase order for preserved specimens, i.e. fetal pigs, sheep brains and bullfrogs.

After working with students for five and half hours, with the "to-do" list still mulling in my head, I put on Mule Variations to get through two straight hours of grading (did not move my butt from my chair). By 4 o'clock with two text messages from friends wondering what I am doing Friday night and a voicemail message from my husband wondering if we wanted to spend dinner with friends, I had to pack up my brain, papers, books and bring them home for a working weekend.

So on this Sunday (Saturday did not offer music-listening time but some much needed sister-bonding time), I have the apartment to myself to get through the rest of the dreaded "to-do" list. On the playlist for this Sunday morning:

--Buena Vista Social Club
--Tapestry by Carole King
--O by Damien Rice
--Picture Perfect Morning by Edie Brickell
--Mosaique by Gipsy Kings

Will post more if the afternoon warrants more selections....

Well, I got more time to get more done! My list may be down to two things only (if I can make my grading pile vanish). So the afternoon issued in Erykah Badu and Dido.
