Things and stuff

wispfoxSettling in, starting to figure out where I need to put more structure (it's _so_ strange having three housemates, and living with a partner), and what I'm likely to drive myself crazy with if I'm not careful.
Main problem? Figuring out how to not over-socialize myself between work and home. At least it's summer, so I have time to adjust when I'm _not_ intensely anti-social! This includes time to play silly computer games, both social ones (WoW) and not (NWN2), read, and play outside when it's nice out. This _also_ includes time for working on grad school applications stuff. At least working from home two days a week means that I can get small tidying and such done during work breaks and lunch, and not have to do _that_ during my minimal available time. (I had no idea how much time I had due to being undersocialized!)
Beginning stages of GRE prep. I don't have to take the CS subject one, and I don't _have_ to (but probably should) take the Psych subject one.
A little too early to do much with the applications themselves. Should start essays, though.
Changing from swimming Tuesday and Friday nights to weekday mornings. Second day of this; so far, so good! Hard getting up earlier, but it does mean that I have more _time_ in the evenings. Also, getting into a habit of swimming is a really, really good thing. It's probably one of the few forms of exercise that I won't get bored with. However, it's a hard adjustment and I'm _exhausted_ in the evenings. Hopefully that will adjust.
But having more weeknight time again _should_ mean I can actually go visit people in addition to existing weekly scheduled interaction times. Which will be nice!
