To-Do List or Work?

snow, snow, go away.

i haven't decided if i'm giving myself a snow day and letting myself not go into work today, or if i should suck it up and try to get down my road later.  If I don't go, my plan is to get my paper (mostly) written, get my lab report done, start researching alpha thalassemia major for my presentation, and start studing for molecular diagnostics.  Getting all of that done today will free me up for over the weekend which will let me get caught up this weekend when the clinic is closed (which i prefer to do anyway).  I don't want to go into work yet because I"m on a roll with my research and I want to (hopefully) get a workout in later.  So work would be later tonight.  But if it doesn't stop snowing soon... I might not be able to get my car through my road (i live on a dirt road that seldomly gets plowed). 

IF i can manage to get everything on my ambitious to-do list done, then I think skipping work today would be okay.  My fear is that I'll eventually hit a wall and not get everything done and then have a lot to do over the weekend which will cut into my work time.
Plus, because of the foot dissection I have to have done by Monday at noon, I can't study or workout during my breaks wednesday and thursday because I'll be dissecting (which is fine, but I hadn't planned on that two days ago).  Well... if I study while Nathan is in RCIA on Thursday like I did last week, I do gain 2 more hours of studying... Hm...

I don't know... I"m good at coming up with excuses as to why I shouldn't go into work.  It's funny though... once I"m AT work, I"m fine.  It's the getting ready to go and actually leaving that's always the problem.  But really... if can get this paper done today, plus the lab report that's due tomorrow morning at 8am done... and hopefully study and do research.. then I'll definitely be a lot less stressed out this week.   School is a priority over work, afterall. 

I'll have part of Friday (Jayme is coming over to study and work on the presentation with me at some point during the day), all of Saturday and all of Sunday (minus going to Mass) to work.  If I go 2 hours on Friday, at least 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday.... 10 hours will be a good goal.  That'll be approximately 50-60 charts I'd get done this weekend.... Sounds good to me. 

Ok, my break is over... I have to get back to researching pharmacists right to refuse emergency contraceptives and abortion pills.  Interesting and relevant topic, but I'm still not looking foward to writing this paper.
