hawkwing_lbI go away to Crete on the twelfth. I'll be twenty-two two days before.
(Hello, adulthood. You really haven't been much like I expected so far.)
And I won't be back until September. This is going to be odd: the longest I've ever spent away before now was three weeks, and that was back when I was ten.
Apparently the average temperature for Crete at that time of year is daytime highs of 29-31 degrees, nighttime lows of 19-22 degrees. But they tell me it's not humid, at least.
I should be able to run in the mornings before the dig (I am capable of getting up at 0530, I just don't like it) and swim in the evenings afterwards, provided exhaustion doesn't set in too badly.
There will be diving. During the holiday portion of my stay, if not the dig one.
As for writing...
Right now, I have 23K of a novel. It's taken me since December to get this much, with all the other stuff I've been doing, and how slowly I've been writing. I want to have 30K before I go away, and at least 50-60K by the time I come back. (I can write 3K a week, I'm fairly sure. And frugality suggests that I should do that rather than attempt nightlife, at least mostly.)
Then back in September, pre-college reading prep, pick up a lead-climbing course, and try to get the damn b*&k done by the end of October. Because if I don't get it done by then, I really doubt I'll have time to think about it much until this time next year.
Plan? Plan.
