I’m feeling a little better than I was on Monday…just a little better, though.

The good news is that I did well on my papers for Contemporary Women’s Short Fiction. I got an A on my presentation, an A- on my short critical paper, and an A on my midterm paper. I’m quite proud of the A on the midterm paper, because it was quite difficult and I hadn’t ( Read more... )

Ugh, today has been a very bad day. Pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

First of all (and this is totally TMI, so don’t read if you don’t feel comfortable), I hate my digestive tract. It is so messed up. I really feel like I may have permanently damaged it from years of starving. Anyway, today at the end of yoga I had a little ( Read more... )

I am feeling very tired and sleep-deprived at the moment. I went to bed at 1:00 on Wednesday night (err, Thursday morning) and got up at 5:00 on Thursday morning, and that was the third day in a row I got up before 7:30 (and I never get up that early). I also had to get up at 7:00 for my visit to Sarah Lawrence on Saturday. To be fair I did sleep ( Read more... )

I totally skipped my morning classes, and now I feel horrible about it. I gave up on work at midnight last night because I was so tired, and I got up at 7:00 this morning to finish my paper for my presentation today. I did not have time to do my reading for Literature of the Later Middle Ages, so I didn’t go to class. What did I do instead? I slept ( Read more... )

Quick update: I spoke with the director of graduate admissions at Sarah Lawrence, and the information looks promising. He said that pretty much all graduate students work on campus and that on-campus jobs are available for all graduate students who want them. They’re usually fifteen hours a week at eleven dollars an hour, although sometimes you can ( Read more... )

Ugh, I’ve been up since 7:45 since I have so much work to do. This week is officially one of those Hell Weeks of lore. I did two-thirds of my reading for Contemporary Women’s Short Fiction, which is tomorrow, last night, and before I meet with my advisor at 12:45 I plan on finishing that and doing my reading for Literature of the Later Middles Ages ( Read more... )

The good news? After this week my workload should decrease substantially. The bad news? This week sucks.

I have so much work to do this week. For Wednesday I have to read three short stories and prepare for a presentation/write a short critical paper and write a four to seven page paper for Contemporary Women’s Short Fiction, which seems impossible ( Read more... )

I’m still really excited about Sarah Lawrence. My parents are going to take me to visit next Saturday (a week from tomorrow). We’re going to head out on Saturday and spend the night and then come back on Sunday and they’re going to drop me off at school on the way back. It’s just far less driving that way. I hope they can arrange for someone to ( Read more... )

Well, I went to get the mail today fully expecting to be greeted by a thin envelope by Sarah Lawrence, but there was a thick envelope sticking out of the mail box instead! I am so, so excited! I knew they were sending out all of their decisions this week, but it seemed like everyone who was accepted had received their acceptance either yesterday or ( Read more... )

Well, I’ve survived the wisdom teeth extraction. It really wasn’t that bad. I was a little nervous that morning, but it went OK. I was sedated and I don’t remember any of it. It turned out that things were worse that I thought, though; all four of them were impacted and two of them were completely crooked/sideways and one of them had three roots, ( Read more... )
