Plan for the Week: Fixed events for the week include Eva’s parents visiting this weekend, my Kaplan class on Sunday, and my dental appointments. I still need to finish preparing the Kaplan lesson, and I’d like get a head start on the following week as well.
The big focus for this week is working on funding and administrative preparation for school. At this point that means sending my consigliore my CV, e-mailing the department about any new opportunities that may have come up, filling out the internship form, and writing about being a TA.
While funding/admin for school is my top priority work-wise this week, setting my health insurance/PCP is going to be my next most urgent priority. It’s great that I have dental appointments set up for Monday and Tuesday so I can get that taken care of, but the other health stuff needs to be addressed.
On the diet/fitness side of things, I want to maintain a fairly austere regimen to get in shape for Argentina at the end of the month. Especially if I go on vacation in a place like Argentina, I want to feel as comfortable as possible walking around in my own skin, so I’m stepping up my fitness and diet goals for the month.
With French, yesterday I finished all the bookwork for the advanced program, so now I only need to listen to the audio for the last two lessons. This I will get out of the way early in the week, after which I’ll move on to my next French project: finishing French For Reading Knowledge. I plan to devote about 3 hours per week to that project and finish in about a month.

Plan for Tomorrow: Trip to CVS, go to dentist, e-mail Mark, finish French audio, see if I can schedule Mantoux test (or find out if I can waive it), deal with library books, and work on paperwork for school for the rest of my time.
