h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, what can I say? Life is... continuing. Mostly along the same lines. I have a large assignment due tomorrow, for my one remaining paper. The others, I've thrown out the window.
So of course I'm on H2G2 at the same time, failing to avoid distracting myself. I probably would've had the assignment done by now, but I just spent seven days out of the city, for good reasons.
Yet another reevaluation of my life has happened over the last week or so, amounting to not much I didn't already know:
I need more money. I'm sick of not being able to feed myself. Indeed, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Now that I've unofficially become a part-time student, I now have the time to find a part-time job. Not that I hold much hope of finding one, but I need to anyway.
I need to do more things for my own amoosement. Things I enjoy: Medieval enactment. Being creative, designing things which have never been attempted before.
...
Um.
I'm sure there's got to be more than that.
I'll get back to you.

So, my current to-do list looks something like:
-Finish this assignment. (Well it /is/ important!)
-Print out my CV.
-Also print out the spec sheet for the chainmail machine.
-Send out spec sheet.
-Distribute CV. (Tomorrow - it's getting late)
-Get job.
-Get money.
-Buy links.
-Make chainmail. Usually I'd make my own links, but I have an idea of something I want to try and unfortunately it means I have to buy them for once.
-Meanwhile, make authentic medieval boots. Or something close enough, at least.
-Recover my helmet from Wellington. Hopefully by then I'll have enough money that I can buy that coat I've been wanting for ages, when I get there. We'll see.
-Meanwhile, learn the ancient Norse language. (Just found a good website! That'll save me doing that paper on Medieval Icelandic through the Auckland university.)
-Also I want to look into a paper or short course on mechatronics. I'd like to be doing something hands-on again, but can't afford to do a full degree on it.
-Meanwhile, Recover quotes for the chainmail machine.
-Compile a business plan.
-Get a business startup grant from the Regional Economic Development Agency.
-Make chainmail, and get paid for it.
-Save up enough money to develop the other OEM prototypes.
-Get the hell out of the country.

Gee that sounds like a good plan. Pity most of those things I've already had several attempts at, and keep getting obstructed.
I still feel like a sheep drowning in a pool, but what else can I do but keep struggling?

Thanks to those of you who were there for me, in one way or another, over the last couple of weeks. I'm not feeling a hell of a lot better, but at least I have a bit more energy. I suspect all I need is some kind of external motivation, to compensate for my lack of internal motivating forces. If I can build up some momentum things might start to improve. I hope so.

Ah well, back to the assignment, while I'm still enthused by my own intentions.
