Things to do after comps

1. Read. Read and Read (Part 1). I know, you would think that I'd be done looking at economics right? But actually feel like I've fallen behind on reading up the latest economics papers and I want to push my thinking further and get started on formulating and refining my research ideas. So i'm excited to be done with comps so that I can read!

1a) Visit Staples. I need to buy printer ink to complete objective 1. and I'm low on all sorts of stationery right now.

2. Read, read and read (Part 2) I love fiction and I intend to at least get through one book before the next grind starts and I get caught up in work and computer codes again. Any recommendations on books?

3. Tennis. Oh how I have missed this game. I'm probably horribly rusty now having not played in ages but that doesn't stop me from wanting to get out and hitting a ball or two.

4. Run. Well I kind of have a deal with F that I would do the 5K college park run with him... so I have to get started on jogging again... (even if I'm really lazy to do so...)

5. Furnish. Its the last bit of the apartment that needs to be decorated. On to fun things like deciding pictures/photographs for wall. Grabbing the much needed coffee table and hunting down the perfect rug to complete the living room.

6. Wine and Dine. Housewarming party! I swear I have a Clarissa Dalloway tendency inside of me. There's something about plotting and planning and seeing it all come together that appeals to me greatly.

7. Have grace. I'm always remarkably impressed by my classmate D, and her endless supply of patience. So this will be an on-going endeavour of mine to cultivate grace and to learn to be kind. Especially in an environment where alot of people are somehow rough and aggressive.
