brief update on the state of my being





Here’s a quick update from me (since I’ve had a few inquiring minds)

o   I am nearing the end of this tortuous semester

o   One week from today and I will be done

o   Tomorrow is my last class

o   Finals start Monday

o   I am on the B/C border in 3 classes due to the fact that I failed my last round of tests (yikes) but I am proud to say all the medicine I’m taking must be working—I did not freak out—did not have an emotional break-down—it did not, in any way affect me. So, that might be a little too much on the opposite side but hey, it’s just a grade;)

o   However, because they require us to keep a 3.0 or above, I’m going to have to work my hiney off to make sure those B’s don’t tip into C’s.  Nothing like a little weight on the shoulders

o   My sprained ankle healed up enough for me to start jogging but after about 3 days back into the grind, I tore my gastrocnemius (also known as the calf muscle) near its origin (because I overcompensated for my hurt ankle) and now I am motion-less again. I guess the universe does not want me to exercise in any way, shape, or form until the end of the semester.

o   I have returned to my ungodly consumption of Ben & Jerry’s

o   I registered for Summer and Fall classes today

o   Our Fall schedule will actually be lighter than our summer schedule

o   No, I am not going out of town for my upcoming break

o   Yes, I am going to sleep, play, and do whatever I want here in town for a few weeks

o   Yes, I will return your phone calls

o   My house has never been so dirty in years

o   Since I watched all of Mad Men and Downton Abbey, I have now moved on to Breaking Bad and The  Wire—I’ve only seen one episode of each due to my limited time but I am very excited about watching them over my break

o   What am I planning on doing next Thursday to celebrate the end of the semester?

Absolutely nothing.

I am going to turn my phone off, hop on my couch and sleep for a few days—I long for the day when I can get more than 5-6 hours of sleep.

o   It really is hard to believe a whole year has gone by since I started school

o   Yes, It’s been harder than I thought it would be

o   No, I don’t regret it

o   Yes, I still want to get my PhD

o   Yes, it’s still a beautiful world full of beautiful people and I’m glad I’m on this path

o   Sleep Tight!
