back to work

So I made it through spring break and the whole wisdom-teeth thing without any serious problems... so it's back to work for the last 6 weeks of the semester. Then summer school, and then fall classes, so I basically don't get another break until the week of Thanksgiving. Oh, well, like they say, no rest for the wicked... :-D

spring break...

There's nothing quite like real food, free laundry, and showering without shoes after doing so for several months in one's dormitory. Unfortunately, it also comes with a boring town and an obnoxious teenage sibling. *sigh* there will always be tradeoffs in life... unless I get my own place :-)

Homework, homework, homework... so much to do, so little time to do it all...

Until next time...

spring break...

Hi again. I just got done with my papers and such (well, the rough drafts anyhow), which is kind of a nice feeling. I'm going to say screw class tomorrow, I'll just go to work. Something tells me that could be a bad idea, as my boss is likely to be there and things could get interesting, to say the least, as he and I don't get along all that terribly well.

I have to have my wisdom teeth removed over spring break... and study for 2 exams... and write more papers (the final drafts)... and did I mention probably sleeping a lot due to the massive amounts of painkillers they're likely to put me on due to the teeth?

Class registration is coming... I hope that I register early enough (and get the paperwork submitted soon enough) that I can get the schedule I like... 3 classes this summer, 5 this fall, and 4 the following 3 semesters until graduation, with the summer before senior year free to find an internship or teach or study abroad or do some such thing. Yay for transfer credits! But we'll see... this may be some kind of unpleasant April Fools' sort of thing that this crazy place is trying to put over on my addled brain...

So until I feel better from the teeth... and have stopped seething about my supervisor... and have finished my papers and my studying...

I bid you all good night and good cheer.

hello again

Hello again, I've been busy this past week, what with writing papers and doing projects and the like, so I won't stay long.

Interesting idea: linguistic determinism. Basically it says that how we think is controlled by the language(s) we speak. Which may or may not be true... although I will say if it is, it's probably due to psychological and cultural factors more than language factors... I associate English with school and Spanish with being outside of school with friends. Which means that I'll speak Spanish when I'm feeling lazy or ornery or want to just chill, and will speak English only when necessary, but that's just me... if you disagree, let me know.

안녕!

Hello again... here I am, procrastinating as usual. I found out I have a pop exam tomorrow (well, not so surprising, it's in the syllabus, I just haven't been to class or read the thing lately). It shouldn't be too hard, I just need to make sure I do the study guide. After that, I need to write up the outline for one of my term papers, and then... spring break. I know, don't go too crazy, right? It's a little hard to be crazy when one is getting all 4 wisdom teeth taken out the first weekday of spring break and is going to be spending the rest of the week miserable...
