ahahahaha. 'Meh, i have some new hair. Some other shit has moved around.'- hilarious. i thought a lot on what you discussed in your last entry, and then never got around to commenting on it. clearly, i suffer from graduate lethargy. in other news, it means you aren't alone. or something. i'm glad you dropped a course. three courses is too much reading. i have huge problems with motivation. it's ridiculous. i was doing better when i was under more pressure- taking courses and ta-ing, but now that i'm a tutor-marker and don't have courses, i watch a lot of tv and play on the internet. um.yeah. my thoughts are circling too much right now. i think i was just afraid if i didn't comment at all then i would think about it and never do it. maybe i'll comment for reals later. i'll try at least. but those are my thoughts for the moment.
haha, the quintessential graduate student answer. Sometimes I think we're just a degree above (or below?) insanity - and we're the ones producing a lot of the nation's 'expert knowledge'. Scary, isn't it?
Thanks for finding the muster to comment, though. At least there's that.
yeah. sometimes i come through. if only slightly. really- i was thinking on your decision to take time through your MA; and i think that's a really good thing. which is ironic coming from me and the shit i've been up to the last few months, which seems to be a whole lot of tv watching and sleeping. it went on too long (i'll be the first to admit) but was slightly necessary after the insanity of coursework, TAing and RAing. my advice is to find balance; but i'll also be the first to admit that i haven't been good at that in my school career either. it's not worth risking burning out or hating your life. and if it's possible and you have funding, don't push yourself or make yourself unhappy. reflection, reflection. but you are enjoying it so far? how do you find the environment there?
I think being able to hold the tension of meeting the requirements and standards (even if they're the ones that YOU'VE set for yourself) as well as taking it easy and not killing yourself is probably one of the hugest things I'll be forced to learn through this degree

hey i'm going to be in toronto on friday and for the whole weekend! i'm planning on going to critical mass and on sunday, to canzine. what are you up to?
hey, that's awesome! I don't think I/we have any solid plans yet, but I do think we might try to hit some of the Festival of Women going on this weekend, as well as the International Art Fair.
I'll have to google canzine, I was wondering when/where that was. We should try and meet up somewhere in this.
that was a cute post. Hair can be a funny thing. I swear companys likey make some money off transguys getting into the whole wet wip toilet paper when they start growing ass hair that they have no idea what to do with lol
Chin-ups have never been hard for me at all, but i'm almost positive that it's becuz i've always had more upper body strength than lower. So i'm assuming u'll be able to do chin-ups with more training on ur upper body :) I'd say.. work ur whole arm (including fore arm's), chest and shoulder muscles and keep trying those chin-ups. Even if u can just get one chin-up in, they're sometimes difficult to grasp at first for most people.
I'm gonna look so scrawny next to u the next time i see u! lol, damn.. i'm so small :p hehe. it's too bad u live so far away, or i'd say we could hit the gym together! i need some more beefing up :p
