Public Service Announcement

I've gotten a few out of the blue e-mails and phone calls from very nice people from high school and college who are in the DFW area who want to have dinner, hang out, etc. I would just like everyone to know though that for the next month (yes the entire month), I'm either going to be studying so hard that I forget to respond (which has happened a few times now), or I'm just going to be so wiped out that I won't have the energy or motivation to write a response.
This is only temporary though. Here's why:

Friday, May 5th - Econometrics Final
Monday, May 8th - Microeconomics Final
Wednesday, May 10th - Macroeconomics Final
Thursday, May 18th - Ardilla's parents get in town.
Friday, May 19th - Ardilla has a graduation ceremony.
Saturday, May 20th - Ardilla has another graduation ceremony (so proud :) ).
Sunday morning, May 21st - Ardilla moves back to Juarez for the summer.
Monday, May 22nd - Macroeconomics Qualifier
Wednesday, May 24th - Microeconomics Qualifier.
Friday, May 27th - Move in to new apartment.
(*anything in bold is what I'm immediately worried about)

So uh... yeah sorry folks. Once I pass quals (which I will!), I'm good to go. But until then these are the things that have been sidelined:
1) Going out for more than one hour.
2) TV except in the case where I just can't function for anything else.
3) Late nights (in bed by midnight, up by 8 AM).
4) Afternoon naps.
5) Alchohol.
6) No IM chatting for more than one hour a day.

Things will probably be added. As it is I'm spending most of my time in the library, or with la ardilla.
