Apparently the lesson about not taking on too much is a lesson that I must learn a million times for it to really stick. If it ever does. Right now, I'm taking 3 classes and working 32 hours a week. And really maybe 10 hours of that I can actually spend doing homework. Someone explain to me why I ever thought this was a good idea. And I submitted ( Read more... )

Holy crap, you people have been prolific since I've been gone. Not even a week and it seems like more has happened in the last few days than in an average 2 weeks. Well, I did some brief skimming, but in between sleeping a MUCH. NEEDED. 10 hours last night and laying around and half-watching the Science of Sleep (which I will need to watch again, ( Read more... )

I think 2008 is gonna be a good one. This year will find me graduated from school, finally. At least for a while. And either settled in a location or happily rambling about the country. Or hopefully both. I'm going to DC next week (eek! that's coming up soon!) and I'm going to Jersey and NYC in March to visit Johanna. And Johanna and I are ( Read more... )

Hmmm... Haven't really felt like writing lately. I guess maybe because things haven't been particularly awesome or particularly horrible. Since the hell of this semester has been over, I guess I've had some ups and downs, but nothing too crazy. This whole week I've just been trying to pass the time, since I'm stuck in Indiana until Christmas Day. ( Read more... )

Another appropriate title would be "what I am doing instead of working on my Natural Resource Policy take-home exam." Less catchy though.

I turned in my last final paper on friday, woot! I'm not sure it was very good, after starting it on Thursday (and it was a 10 page paper...). And then I had a little fiasco where I worked on my paper for 3 hours on Friday afternoon and I had apparently been saving to a temporary file the ENTIRE time. So that was naturally awesome. I figured this ( Read more... )

Why is it NOT the end of the semester yet? The end of this semester has been particularly excrutiating, even as ends of semesters go. I've had to throw together two research projects 2-3 days before I had to present them TWICE in the last two weeks. For example, I had the opportunity to become an "expert" on soil quality in a single afternoon. ( Read more... )

Bah, I am still exhausted. I might need to actually nap today. I never nap. In other news, my life has apparently reached a new level of insanity. I guess I've reached the point where I'm not even phased by crazy things any more, because it took Cheri to point out the insanity, for me to even realize it. Awesome. I knew this day would come ( Read more... )

Having tons of homework to do makes me not want to do any of it. I've had periods of productivity today, but also a lot of bumming around and feeling sorry for myself. I think the problem is that my schedule has been far too open and I'm not good at making myself take breaks, so I just plow through, getting less and less done as I go on. I keep ( Read more... )
