I'm not sure if a calendar of what I'm planning is relevant to anyone, except in the way that anything I post here is (which is, it's not, but I'm very kindly indulged in my habits) but here's what I'm up to.
I sporadically mention I run a WoD game, and I run it even less than I mention it, but the next session is on Monday. I feel pretty confident in my writing and running abilities now, but I'm also pretty aware of how differently I run then the rest of my friends. I initially planned on 13 whole sessions, but it'll probably end up around 10 unless Katie wants more after the wrap-up and there's an easily extendible game. Running these sessions has been good for me, and even though I've been too slow on the write up for them (life's been weird, but I can't use that as an excuse really), I think I've been getting better.
The ceremony is next month on the 25th, and that's been taking up a huge amount of my time between working, helping with convention events, and dealing with video and photo shoots and the occasional problems with Stand Alone. I'm not really going to be doing much besides helping finish the programming for the event and getting the finer details taken care of until 5/25, just because I don't want to juggle any more than we've already got.
Not this weekend, but next is a St. Louis area anime convention held in Collinsville, IL. Katie's doing the bulk of the work since it's for Stand Alone, but we do have a guest coming in from out of town, and I tend to work the bulk of the weekend. I'll be hoping to get Saturday off (which probably won't be hard, since we have people who want hours at work and can't get enough - usually including me), but that's one of two large events before the wedding. There's also editing to be done for the shooting and we lost our old editor and business partner due to the ravages of apathy, so that's all Katie. There's also a Can Town prom event between now and 5/25, which will probably eat most of the week before for Katie.
Between now and next month, I'll be doing research on the feasibility of going back to grad school. I know that several of you are really pushing for me to go back, and I couldn't agree more, but money is the primary consideration. I'll be looking primarily at schools in my area because we can't really leave. We've got a house that we're not really willing to sell with some pets who can't really be moved. After some discussion, we're probably willing to rent it if someone's willing to take care of the non-mobile animals, but that's an unusual deal. Personally, I'm not willing to confirm or deny a course of action until I know all the angles and have a backup plan, though. Prospects of employment or financing by graduate programs need to be looked into again, and I'm going to write another essay after next month. (This time is also for academic research, but I won't be turning the heat up on that for a while.) I've heard a lot of advice, but the primary thing I want to know about now is how to get people to actually write a letter of recommendation after being totally out of communication and academia for a lengthy period. I'm thinking that going back for individual classes might be the way to reintroduce myself to professors on campus, and to reintroduce myself back to university life and expectations. I'm very patient about this kind of thing, providing I'm actually making headway.
