Soo.....This is What PhD School Is Like


I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've just been so busy! I forgot what it was like to have all of these weekly readings and stuff. Yeesh! I'm trying to keep up, but there are a few things that are getting in my way. Teaching this class, for example, or going home for Mandy's wedding. I mean it was fantastic and I loved going home, but it was hard to get my mind off of all of the work I had to do. Now, I'm pooped and have a few more things to get done by the end of Wednesday. Then there are other silly things like sleeping, eating, and the need for some socialization. Damn.

But I am apparently doing a few things right. I like to think I'm rocking two of my classes. I don't feel like I'm going through that period of being nervous to talk in class, or being afraid of sounding dumb, or feeling like everyone is smarter than me. I'm glad I'm not going through that again, because that was rough my first semester at Western. So yay for confidence.

Speaking of Western, I recently received an email saying that Western is FINALLY giving me my degree! I should receive it in ten weeks. I want it now!

So, I am having a serious lack of motivation at the moment. I did some intense work yesterday. I didn't stop for more than twelve hours! And I think because of that I'm very blahhh today. I just can't pull myself together! And I'm concerned I might have some allergy stuff coming up. I usually get something around this time of year and after the past five days, I could understand why.

Oh! And I forgot to tell you all about the code-names for my professors. This will help in the future if I have stories to share or something.
1) Willy Wonka
2) Tommy Lee Jones
3) John Malkovich.
It's really quite a genius method I have here. For some reason I like figuring out what celebrities people I meet remind me of. Or my mind automatically tries to categorize physical, and sometimes, more personality based traits. But mostly physical traits.

Well, I should probably try to get something done. Or just go to bed and get up early. I'm actually starting to get into that habit. It's so weird. I suppose I was able to do this when I was working at Biggby. It was nothing for me to get up crazy early on a morning that I didn't have to open to start getting work done. Even thought I nap in the afternoon when I get up that early I just like the feeling of accomplishing a lot by like 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon. It's like empowering.
