well, the quarter is over and i'm tired. my back has been acting a little funny so i'm taking it easy for a couple of days. trying to get some rest and write up a proposal or two for the summer so my boss and semi-boss will shut up and let me work. ah well, i guess i do look kind of useless sometimes. anyway, grades came out ok, a 3.0 in ( Read more... )

well, more time rolls by and i'm still totally undecided about staying for a phd. the busy work and meetings are getting really boring, and while half the people at work are great and it is fun to do research with them, the other half make it near unbearable. bleh. more time working without a net. at least i'm almost done with the messy two ( Read more... )

ugh, writing papers is difficult all of a sudden. i think adrienne's right in that i just overthink. i've written more in the last two hours than in the last two weeks, it seems i just have to stop worrying and write. other than that, just busy busy at work and such. thinking of playing wow, but i'm not sure i have the time to waste. i'm ( Read more... )

to do list currently has 14 different non-trivial things on it, and that's just for school/work. can't believe i hardly got anything done this weekend. it was fun, but a total waste of time i don't have. i can't figure out what's wrong with me lately, but i can't seem to think neraly as well as i used to. it's like my brain is all clogged up ( Read more... )

been sick. really sick. just sort of coming out of it now. work is kind of whining at me about it, but adrienne's right, i should just stay home until i'm better. hope all is well.

another month passes and not much happens. the usual small things we come to expect from work/school still happen, and this month hasn't disappointed me from that angle. but nothing really new. misty's bday party was apparantly a flying drunk-fest for steve, and i've been staying at work longer than i think i should. doing a lot of work for ( Read more... )

ok, so now my boss is magically staying here in seattle. now i have to either readjust back to doing a phd or just say fuck it all and get out with a master's. bleh. i should have expected something like this to happen. oh well, i'm sure i'll figure it out and i'm sure i'll be fine.

so the real problem is going to be keeping myself out of my hole long enough to get this done. the work is pretty easy, there isn't that much that i'll have to do that i haven't done bfore. just having to do it isn't trivial anymore. not sure how to face it. i should get help from those i've helped before, but i'm afraid there isn't any there ( Read more... )

it's been verified; he's leaving. i talked to him today and it looks like if i get a decent plan together he'll try to help me get a master's degree finished in MSE in the next 6 months. man, i can't believe i'm going to have to get through a master's in 6 months AGAIN. strange patterns in my life.
