If This is Grad Student Life...

Dec 03, 2007 02:04

At 47 pages (possibly more as I finish up bibliographical notes), the edits and final draft are at near completion; one more read-through and I'll be finished. However, I feel as if my mental state is addled. As I manually apply page numbers and scroll through for line spacing corrections, I'm listening to High School Musical (OH, NO NO NO, STICK ( Read more... )

don't go crazy now, ya hear?

I promise! I'll just go crazy enough.

I mean, I didn't buy the Bollinger for nothing.

That's the spirit.

Go out and give 'em hell! (and by 'em I mean that paper) :)

i love that all that work has driven you to entertainment aimed at people at least half your age.

congrats for getting through it all finally, sanity intact or no!

Um, Yo Gabba Gabba may be the greatest piece of recorded television since HR Puff n' Stuff. The writers added just enough weed with a delightful kick of ketamine.

haha i've only seen a short clip from it, but i'm not surprised that it's great. isn't some guy from the aquabats involved in it? that should be a sign right there.

Indeed -- the entire thing is set up by them, which still makes me wonder how Nick thought this would be a good idea....but hey, I ain't complaining. Any program that can be so deliciously manipulated by The Soup gets props, period.

And thanks! Reading through it now. I'm learning to hate manual application of page numbers. Grrrr.

Didn't I hear something about you applying to Teach For America?

hapan605 December 10 2007, 07:46:25 UTC

Indeed; I was supposed to submit in the second round back in November, but after some intense discussion about it I've called it off. While teaching is in the cards, it's neither my forte nor my passion, and to do T4A for two years would be more delaying tactic than something oriented towards the service I'd like to be able to give or any professional considerations I'd like to achieve. While I'm still worried about what's happening come June, I know that doing T4A would not have necessarily been a good choice.

That said, I may be working for Southern Foodways in New Orleans, so some good may hopefully ocme out of that...

blue bottle is DELICIOUS. yay for you! you are still my hero.

hapan605 December 10 2007, 07:47:30 UTC

Indeed it is :-). I go on Saturdays and Tuesdays to their joints out here in the E.Bay. I'd be working at Mint Plaza in SF, come later January...I'm hoping praying that it comes together....

...and ps, you mine hon. Thanks for coming by tonight! things resolved with the Hoytians?

littpiski December 10 2007, 18:25:35 UTC
