Entering procrastination station
I have two 15 page projects which are maybe a third done due by Friday morning, and qualifying exams (to see if I can continue with my PhD) two and a half weeks from now. And of course, I am updating my blog after not doing so for months. Because I am awesome at finding the most opportune times to procrastinate!
These past few months have been unbelievably busy, but I am having loads of fun. I have been accused by my sister of not writing an entry in a long time because things are going great with the new boy (oops, did I just jinx it?), but that is not the case. Mainly this semester my classes consist of writing ridiculously long essays and papers, so much so that whenever I think of writing in here I sigh, and think – suck it, diary! I need to save my creativity for comparing organizations to an instrument of domination, or a flock of birds, or a burning building, or a pirate ship.
The first year of my grad school career is drawing to a close, and I am very thankful. This summer I will be working part time so that will give me time to work on my proposal for candidacy and do some traveling and visit my family. There are three big events this summer that I am so very excited about: the little bean’s first birthday (but he was just born yesterday! how could that be?), my sister’s high school graduation (but… she is just a baby, how is it that she’s going to college and doing all sorts of grown up activities, like living all by her lonesome and playing beer pong?), and my cousin’s wedding (yeah, this one was a long time coming. I was ready for this one three years ago). I cannot wait for spring and summer!
Ok, back to my regularly scheduled work.
