To/towards
I don’t know if it’s because it’s midterms week, or if I’m just getting lazy and taciturn, but I haven’t been doing a great job at the nightly blogging lately. I really just don’t feel like I’ve got much to say. But I guess a few things have happened. Better go list format.
The Good:
- I got new glasses today!
- Had a nice post-lunch lunch with my sweetie
- Got my performance reviews from my students last quarter, and they’re fantastic
- Think I have my classes figured out for next quarter
- Had a dream I was helping Eddie Vedder garden?
- Also had a dream Hilary Clinton was my mom and we were moving into the white house?
- Only missed half a point on my neuroimaging midterm
- Managed to cook a bit, vacuumed, and ironed!
The Other-than-Good:
- Feeling really grumpy lately
- Had a crap meeting with my research advisor wherein he didn’t listen to anything I said and tried to solve the problem I presented him with by using my exact same non-working solution and apparently not noticing…
- Dentist appointment tomorrow
- Quechua midterm on Monday…
- Semantics presentation coming up which I’m pretty nervous about (as in, I know nothing about the subject I’m presenting on and the readings suggested are aggrivatingly quatralingual (read: incomprehensible))
- Spent a thousand years trying to figure out what courses to take; still waiting for a professor to return my email…
- Mostly just grumpiness!
Yeah, so… that’s life. Rambling along like usual, feeling like I’m stuck in slow motion and I’m not getting anything done. I’m getting pleanty done. I think last quarter was way more work than perhaps your average quarter, and thus I am now feeling aimless and deflated and underworked. It seems ridiculous that being in grad school could be underworking me, but there you go.
