Home for the Everydays
Finals week, you beast!
It’s been a very eventful day, though considering my huge petering out this evening I don’t know if I can call it that successful. I woke up all bleery-eyed and feeling completely exhausted, no doubt from the emotional (and stupidly, physical) exhaustion from proctoring the Lin 1 final. I really could not get moving this morning. Luckily Lewis needed to go to campus, and also needed to get his bike fixed, so when he got up we both whisked ourselves to campus and got some breakfast and got some bike turned in for tune-up-age. I, too, need to get my biked tuned up at some point.
I got a fair amount of work done in my office this afternoon, punctuated by short lovely winter walks to move the car. Picked up some groceries at the co-op on the way home, made a delicious quesadilla dinner, and got some, but not a lot, more work done. I’m half done with my last paper, though I was hoping to be more like 3/4th done with it by tonight so I could have ample time to edit and revise tomorrow without being too exhausted from writing it. I’m not sure that will happen, but it’s not due till noon on Friday, so I may still be able to get up early and work on it Friday morning. You never know.
What I do know is that I’ve been doing sudoku and paying bills instead of working on my paper for the last hour or two, and I’m exhausted and only getting progressively more retarded. And that’s the exact moment you know it’s time to go to bed and hope you wake up raring to go on what you have left. The pull of winter break is strong… and I’m very much ready to just throw it all to the wind and Christmas shop like the dickens! Turns out I only have two weeks till Christmas. I have a whole heck of a lot of cheer to try and cram into just two weeks. I haven’t even listening to Christmas music all day. Sigh! The things I sacrifice for graduate school.
