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!
I hope things are better, now! And really, 6.5 years isn't so long, right?
Thanks Leah! Things are better--I was having A Day as people might say.
Plus, I think I might be revising my plan a little bit so I can get done faster. Hopefully.
Hey, do you have suggestions on how to pick recommendation-writers? Academic v. professional? Especially since I pretty much don't know any academics who can speak to my business ability!
Sorry this is late!
Re: recommendation writers: definitely go w/ people who actually know you. And after working for so many years, there is absolutely nothing wrong w/ having more professionals than academics giving you recommendations. That said, you should have one academic recommender, but 2 professionals (I'm assuming it's a 3 required thing) is more than okay.
And you're applying for, what?
Good luck!
