I'm not sure what to do with myself

Yesterday was the last day of classes. How did that happen? Wasn't I just whining about packing my house up? On the other hand, I've shot 6 short films, written about 10 short scripts (some of them very very short), learned to use Avid, played with lots of different cameras, so I suppose that's a year's worth of things.
I have until Tuesday at 1pm to upload my final copy of Take Out so in fact I'm only almost done. But there's not much left to do for that. So I'm sort of sitting here thinking, "Huh, now what?" 

I still haven't heard from Maine, though it being May I can follow up with them now. They had said we wouldn't hear until May. Though I'm trying to decide if I want to talk to them before or after I have my follow-up doctors' appointments. Do I want to say to the doctor I have a job from this date to this date, can we schedule the surgery around that? Or do I want to say to the job that I'm having surgery on X date and need to start after or end before? I suppose it depends on how urgent the doctors are. If they look at tomorrow's MRI and say, "How about next week?" Then ok, next week it is. But if they're more laid back and "You should get around to it this summer." Then I'm inclined to say August just so that I can work in June and July. Or else right now so that I can recover in June and work in July and August. But that depends on when the work wants me. Or if the work wants me I suppose. If not I'll sign up for a film studies elective summer class to get that out of the way, see if any of the second year thesis films are looking for miscellaneous crew, and get the surgery done sooner rather than later.

In the meantime I can do some guilt free leisure reading, and watch that long list of movies that I kept noting when people said, "Have you seen...?"
