Semester accomplished
May. 1st, 2009 02:05 pmFREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOMMMMM!
My paper, it is done and turned inand a mess, which means that my first year of grad school is over, and I am still alive. For certain definitions of "alive," anyway.
For the rest of the summer, I get to work on my wonderful thesis, with one of my favorite people in the department. This makes me happy. (Uh, fair warning, this journal will probably switch formats to All Thesis All the Time starting next week. I won't judge you if you want to defriend.)
My first order of business as a free woman is...a nap. Not a whole lot of sleep has happened over the past two nights. And when I wake up, I will...clean, because my apartment is a pigsty (although hopefully not a swine flu-infected one), and organize all the papers from this semester that are floating around, so that perhaps I will have a table/coffee table/couch/desk/chair again!
My life is so exiciting, I know.
Oooh, but I finally get to watch the B5 DVD that's been sitting buried under my papers for the past two weeks! Woot!
Oh, and there's that pesky grading to do this weekend, but whatever. I can knock that out in an afternoon.In theory.

Although right after that I have to turn around and review for our oral exam study session and read some stuff for my next meeting with my thesis director, so it's not exactly like I'm on vacation...still, no more classes until August is nice.

Date: 2009-05-02 10:19 pm (UTC)One week of classes (the last half of which I will miss because I'm going to a conference), one week of finals, then my semester is officially over.
Of course, the summer class I'm taking starts the week after finals, and that will last three weeks, Monday-Friday. So yeah, the end is not quite in site for me yet. ::sighs::)
