The First Week Is Over

Here I am, one week later. I've only managed to do about 1 and a half lessons of Spanish, but I've worked through 5 chapters of computer programming. I haven't broken any of my rules yet and it doesn't seem so bad. I've also made it through half of that Video Games book (which is turning out to be not a very great read). Of course along with all that stuff I listed, I've played quite a bit of chess.

I bought the strings to my guitar but I've been putting off trying to replace them. I think I'll do that over the weekend. It just seems like it's something that's not going to go well and will take longer than I expect. A friend of mine told me that once you've done it a few times it only takes about 10 minutes to swap them all out, so I'm estimating it'll take me about 45 minutes to do the first time.

There's only seven days left before I go to Texas with Carol to visit her sister. I don't think I'll maintain the Renaissance during the time that I'm there. It'll be the first time I've visited them, and I'll be there for a week. I don't think I'd be a very good guest if I refused to watch movies, television, or play any games with them. I certainly won't have my computer to dawdle on, playing chess and programming.

What do I think I might get done over the next 7 days? Now that I've started programming, I think I'll make it through the second third of the book. Both of the library books that I got out will be due before we leave as well, so I guess I'll have to finish those off, and I haven't even started the second one. It's likely that I'll finish off another unit of Spanish as well. That's all I've got.
