Intimidation

Is thinking about all the things I have to do in the next four days, the next seven months, the next ten months, and the next year+.

1. Prepare for my upcoming deployment. Talk to college counselors about what it will take for me to transfer all my credits--or at least the advantageous ones--to their schools. Get all my bills in order and suspend the ones that I won't need to pay while I'm gone. Tell everyone goodbye.

2. Do my job on the boat. Apply to college. Pay off as much debt as I can while saving for a down payment on a house. Look for a house. Keep Noela and Shannon updated on the house thing.

3. Keep up with the schools to which I will have applied. Get a loan to buy a house. Transition out of the Marine Corps. Find a good job. Find a way to get all my stuff that's still in Florida to San Diego. Come up with a backup plan if none of the SD stuff works out. Find a house. Purchase said house. Move, and help my friends move. Be the on-site coordinator for the whole dang project.

4. Start school, and be in way over my head with math and physics.

Doesn't my future sound like fun? I'm starting to get a little stressed out every time I think about all of the above. Only when I think of it as a whole, though. In reality I know I can break everything down into manageable problems and tackle them in my normal tenacious get 'r done fashion.

I do like a good adventure.
