Diary of a Thesising Senior, week 24
It's about time. I feel like I made a breakthrough on my thesis this evening. I attended a thesis workshop given by Professor Leibman last week and she mentioned that one of the first things we're likely to hear during our orals board is "why should we care about your thesis topic?" I've been trying to figure that out for the best part of the last ( Read more... ) -

Wow. Okay, I'm now obsessed with J. Lo's Hair (which can justifiably be called its own separate entity in her latest music video). I heard this track on the radio earlier. I've noticed Pitbull seems to float around other people's tracks as a collaborating artist a lot and generally improves whatever song he's featured in, so here ya go. Get ( Read more... ) -

I'm not having a good school week. I'm fairly sure I just bombed my econ midterm, which is annoying as HELL because I do all the reading, score well on the homework and studied for that dang test. The homework and the reading make somewhat sense but then I get to the test and this crap is like Greek. It shouldn't be this hard. You'd think I'd have ( Read more... ) -
This never happens to Alex...
I want to kill the little burfalls. Perseus set up the most dreadful caterwauling at midnight last night. He would not stop yowling, causing me to fear he was keeping the neighbors as well as me awake, so I eventually let him out of the bathroom. He's now hellbent on making up for lost time. He and Nem have yet to be stationary for the past EIGHT ( Read more... ) -

I'm having the hardest time concentrating. I'm simply checked out at a time when I need to be knuckling down and banging out those final revisions to my thesis. I have an econ midterm this week and I also have a small paper assignment due in my other English class and one of the sources I need is completely checked out of the library. After kicking ( Read more... ) -

I must have a sign over my head that says "I am easy to talk to. Come and talk to me." I was in Commons just now eating my meal, when another senior randomly wandered up and introduced herself to me. She appeared to be having a panic attack and was near tears. After some mild bemusement at the proceedings, I had her sit down and just listened to ( Read more... ) -
Diary of a Thesising Senior, week 22
I'm rather confused by my thesis template. It seems to eat pages. I've easily added somewhere between 4 and 5 pages of writing to my thesis this week and somehow the page count hasn't changed. I've flipped through the damn thing and it appears to be all numbering correctly, so the only thing I can figure is that my extra writing filled itself into ( Read more... ) -

Perseus just cost us upwards of $3200 in vet bills because he's a dumbass who ate something stupid. He's in surgery tonight. We don't know what he ate yet but my money is on a scrap of fabric from when I was dressmaking last week. >. -

Alex is wearing a dress. I made it for her and it actually fits! :does happy dance: -

Well whatdya know, lil Perseus is actually capable of learning. Perseus sometimes wakes me up at silly hours of the morning by poking his paws into my eye sockets. After a few rounds of sleepy protest where I kick him off the bed and he promptly climbs back up, he settles down again to sleep on my pillow with his front paws on my shoulder so as to ( Read more... )
