And if I did something that wasn’t on a list, I would promptly write it on one and cross it out, with the feeling of having at least accomplished something.

Explanation and Analysis:
While spending time in the settlement of Utopia after her trial trek with Jenny and Toly, Davidson throws herself into the nitty-gritty preparations for her journey.
