Hmmmmmmmm...

So I've been ill. It sucked.

Ha ha so I got the dates for when all my thesis stuff is due and it just makes me laugh. Like, its all so ridiculously soon that I should be working on it non-stop but I'm not. I'm really okay with it. I have a lot to do, but I'm working on it a chunk at a time and it'll get done. It only took me seven years of higher education to get to this place where I'm not completely stressed out and not eating and pushing my BP sky high and being a big angry mess and being mean to everyone. If that's the only thing I get out of grad school, then its totally worth the $53,498 I now owe the federal government.

OH! And it'll be the first Thanksgiving I won't be writing three papers for the first time in FOREVER!

In other news, Zoey now gets in the dryer. Here's a pic:

School

I'm kind of bummed. School starts this week but nothing changes for me. I'm really happy its my last semester and sad at the same time.

This week is going to kick my ass. I know I'm going to get yelled at on Thursday for not having enough of my thesis done. There are going to be tears. It can never be the first week of the semester without tears.

I just want to know what I'll be doing come January. I hate the uncertainty. I am completely unsettled and will be that way for months to come. : (

On a side note, I found the Civil War medical museum that's in RIC today. Now, to convince someone to go with me...hmm...

Good night, sleep tight.

Yep
