Lately, the way that I take a break from homework is either to go to the kitchen to get some food, or to spend a couple hours transcribing for my internship.

I'm feeling pretty run down at the moment.

Completed a nine page essay for Graphic Novels this weekend, since it's due next Friday and I need time to go back and edit it and such.  I have a ( Read more... )

It's week seven already?  REALLY?!  This happened sometime that I wasn't looking, clearly....not that I'm complaining.

(Well, maybe a little.  I still have a lot to do in these last four weeks...three papers, three revisions of various things, three midterms, and finals.  I feel like I'm in a fairy tale now, all these important threes!)

This last ( Read more... )

Well, what would this miserable quarter be without a final lingering illness that hangs around for nearly a week ( Read more... )

You know, I have rarely been really, seriously, legitimately worried about the future.  I mean, I've always had doubts and fears (especially about failing, because that's what I'm worried about 99% of the time, either in general form or about something specific), but this is different.  I've been looking into graduate schools, and trying to figure ( Read more... )

This year, anyway.  Mike is home!  I took the train and BART to SFO last night to meet him at the airport.  Most things about the last two weeks have, just by chance, been shitty.  But everything just got improved immensely.^^

Today was my first opportunity to sign up for classes.  Of course, I can't sign up for the two upper division Psych classes I need in order to apply for the double major, because they are restricted to Psych majors, and I'm not one yet...because I need those classes.  What a headache of circular logic.  Here's to hoping that on my second pass ( Read more... )

I am feeling slightly better, despite some horrible things over the weekend and early this week.  However, that is not the point.  The POINT is that even with a string of unfortunate events that has been continuing pretty much every day, I've taken a few deep breaths and regained controlled.  Somewhat.  None of this stuff has been insurmountable so ( Read more... )

I feel as though I am swimming in a sea of negativity.  It is a hard, tedious, frustrating quarter academically.  I don't know if I will be able to get the classes I literally need for next quarter.  Our internet has been down for the most part (I'm "borrowing" from an unsecured neighbor network) for at least the last week, and my roommate Ryan, ( Read more... )

Dear India,

Please send Mike back in one piece ASAP.

ASAP.

Yours,

Currently, for my internship, most of the work I'm doing consists of watching half hour videos of children interacting in certain ways with their parents and/or experimenters, nd transcribing EVERYTHING about those tapes.  Every word, every gesture that someone doing a study might need to know, everything.  It takes hours and hours.  I'm working ( Read more... )
