hanging on by a thread

So, um, school is kicking my ass. It is hard and my brain hurts most of the time. I am no longer scared of math, but those skills certainly don't come naturally to me. Ouch. What with my brain in pain and all, I haven't been taking much time for extraneous internetting. I like my weblog, though, so I thought I'd try to make an appearance. If anybody's still out there, hi!

Except for the numb brain, pretty much all is well in the life of me. Well, except for yesterday when I decided the foulness of my shower MUST BE ATTENDED TO and so I sprayed a bunch of Tilex and failed to turn on the exhaust fan. Is this, perchance, why my throat hurts today? Really, though, all is great. The bills are payed. People in my life are healthy and well. (And I am in denial about a particular friend deciding to move to Boston in a couple weeks--SK, please don't go.) I ended my summer with a great trip, and recently received news that my brother and sister-in-law will be in town for Christmas. Yet.

The season is changing, and I am already feeling that tickle of cold-weather glumness. I don't like the cold and the dark and the wet. It makes me want to stay home in my pjs and knit all day, but not in a good way--in an avoid the world kind of way that really isn't healthy. So even though I've got no time, I'm trying to make myself go to the gym regularly and meet up with friends to socially engage at least once or twice a week.

I know that going back to school was the right decision to make for myself, and I am honestly interested in what I am learning. However, I am already looking forward to the day I am done. After this semester, there'll only be 6.5 years to go!

oh right! title goes here.

Some situations at work are making me ragey, and school is making me tired. This, however, makes it a lot better than it should.

back to school

After completing 1.5 weeks of my new 7-year student plan, I can honestly say that I can't wait to be done!

Really, it isn't bad, I just have a bad additude. I am learning things in my bozo prerequisite for prerequisite classes that I can see will be useful. Stimulating my brain feels good. However, overnight I went from having a 40-hour week with little-to-no take home stressors to a nearly 70-hour week with homework. I would like a nap. And some time to knit.

(In knitting news, I finished Rusted Root. It is pretty but much too large. The fit is seriously weird in the larger sizes. I plan on ripping and starting over. In the meantime? Hedera socks from knitty in the koigu. Love.)
