I think my soul is antiquated. (Totally emo, right?) I had more fun making cookies today than I have in all of grad school combined. Any desire I have for a career is just to have a more comfortable family life. I'd be perfectly happy as a housewife if anybody could afford to live that way anymore. (Alas.) First and foremost, I want to marry to the ( Read more... )

Tonight was my last class. That leaves one paper to write, bunch to grade, and finals to proctor and grade. After that I will be a quarter of the way done with grade school. That fact is simultaneously relieving and terrifying. There's so much left to do, and time runs away so quickly. I got my major paper back from my no good, very bad, awful ( Read more... )

After I present tomorrow my horrible god awful no good class evil will be done. I need finish a rather inane project for museum education on the 5th. I've got a paper due December 12th. After that my first semester of four at UNCW is over. And that gives me hope that I can do this after all. The two other public history students that entered with ( Read more... )

I gots my new macbook. I am a very happy bunny. Now I play and figure everything out. Squee!

Things got worked out with the dreaded corporate juggernaut. I get to see my family for Turkey day! Goof news indeed. Now there's just so much to do before then.

And the amount of work I have to accomplish in the next two years is already terrifying. I'm not sure how it's going to get done. At the moment I'm not even particularly sure if I care if gets done. But then again, I'm tired, still adjusting, and not entirely sure what I'm doing here yet. (At least in terms of a thesis). Hopefully these are normal ( Read more... )

I know I for one feel perfectly safe and secure about my future. The VP ( Read more... )

Our local PBS, or UNC TV, plays Doctor Who on Saturday nights, commercial free. Then, it's followed by a little making of this episode special. It makes me squeal a little.

UNC has a nifty tool where I can get books online. Which takes away the horrible OU surprise factor. Then again my books at OU never cost almost $500. That's $150 less than my monthly rent by the way. FOR BOOKS. I assure the list of expletives running through my head is longer than my leg, or your leg, or yours and mine combined. I love books and ( Read more... )

Moved in a week ago. Which went as smoothly as it possibly could considering the amount of stress built in. The first task was getting everything unpacked and set up. Which we accomplished with relatively little squibbiness. I think the place looks nice a good mix of both of us ( Read more... )
