Looking ahead (or trying to)

A couple days ago, I decided it was time to purchase a new planner for 2013, seeing as my current planner only has about ten more days of life left in its worn-out pages. So, I set off, on a mission to the librerías (office supply shops) of Cajabamba. Eight librerías later, no planner. Apparently December 20th is waaaay too early to be planning for next year, according to rural Peruvian concepts of time.

Unfortunately, I am not yet fully brainwave-converted to rural Peruvian time. So, to accommodate both Cajabamba's lack of available planners and my own extreme need to write down my future activities, I have converted the empty page at the end of 2012's agenda into a running list of things I wish I could be writing in my as-yet nonexistent 2013 planner. An interesting cultural difference, coming from a country where it's not uncommon to buy next year's calendar as early as October.
