I have exactly two weeks from today until I start my new job. I should get my actual job offer via FedEx in the next day or so. I still can't believe that this is happening. It doesn't feel real. I woke up late this morning (as usual) and decided that I only have two weeks, so I better take care of some things. If I had known on August 1st (when I started looking for a job) that I wouldn't be working until November 28th, I would have taken care of so many things. So for the next two weeks, I have a few things that I want to get taken care of.
1. Get my SW License. (If I'm not approved by ASWB by then, I will spend the 2 weeks studying like hell)
2. Get a haircut. (Gotta look good for the new job. I have an appointment scheduled on Friday)
3. Go to the gynecologist. (I've been putting off my annual since May)
4. Get my eyes checked and get new glasses. (My glasses have a chip in the middle of the right lens)
5. Clean my apartment (My parents will be here next week and the place has to be spotless)
6. Get a light jacket (I need a nice jacket to wear to work that isn't my heavy winter coat)
7. Read 2 books (I need to do something for just me, right?)
In order to accomplish these things I need to start waking up at 8:00 am every day so that I have a full day in which to get things done. Also during this time, I need to do a few trial runs to the new office via subway, to see what time I'll have to leave in the mornings to get to work.
Now I need to figure out which two books to read. I have approximately 8 books sitting on the shelf waiting to be read. I'm also in the middle of reading James Frey's books, A Million Little Pieces and am trying to re-read Steve Martin's Shopgirl in anticipation of seeing the movie. Unfortunately, neither are really holding my attention. Here's a list that I need to choose from. Any recommendations or helpful hints would be greatly appreciated:
1. Reviving Ophelia, Mary Pipher
2. The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold
3. A Brother's Journey, Richard Peltzer
4. Everyone Worth Knowing, Lauren Weisberger
5. The Dog Walker, Leslie Schnur
6. Son of a Witch, Gregory Maguire
7. Mirror, Mirror, also Gregory Maguire
8. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Gregory Maguire
So please help me pick something. I think I'm in need of a little "chick-lit" to help in the relaxation. Wish me luck on crossing things off of my goal list as well.

Well of course read Reviving Ophelia, I loved it. And I would also suggest reading the Peltzer book. It's not as good as the other three written by his brother but it's good nonetheless and I don't know the other books, so there.
What about MEXICO?
