I figured since I can't sleep and was wasting time on the internet, I should write a little something about what has been going on lately. A few major changes...you know, like starting graduate school.
The first few weeks have been busy but good. I have already written two papers and am preparing for my first presentation, which is scaring the shit out of me. Ever since I stopped acting several years ago, I realized that I quite enjoy not being the center of attention. Honestly, I never really liked being the center in the first place. Too much pressure. Blending is good. Blending is always good. That being said, I'm willing to put myself out there to get through school.
I might want to mention that I had to buy 14 books for class. When I thought that was all, I found out we needed an additional 4 readers and three inches thick worth of journal articles that I had to copy off on my own due to copywright laws. Pretty much this semester cost me $1,000 in books. Once graduate school is over, I'm sure I will have read the tree equivalent of Henry Cowell Redwood Forest.
It's not all bad news. I really enjoy my classes so far, the students are nice and the professors are very supportive. We were also able to sneak away for a quick trip to Seattle during Labor Day weekend. During this vacation, we decided not to make it ALL about sight-seeing. Since we have such hectic schedules, we tried something new: RESTING DURING VACATION. It's a fantastic concept that requires little to no planning. I highly recommend it.
Now for a little sleep?
