more direction needed

in an effort to map out my next steps and end this seemingly mindless existence as a phd student, i wrote down my plan of action for the next couple of weeks. i have a couple of major items (and a couple minor items too) i am preparing to tackle, and i want to have everything set and ready as soon as possible. looking at my calendar, i will be heading home in a month. i have A LOT of work to do before i can feel comfortable leaving my research for 3-4 weeks. i would hate to have to cut my holidays short because i failed to accomplish my goals in these 2 months back. i still need to write down some more action-items for the next few days and help focus my attention on some tangible accomplishments.
