Well, there are a few things I should be doing right now (revising my rough draft, making food, being lazy), but I wanted to stop in and give a brief update, which will hopefully turn into a much longer update once Tuesday has come and gone (Tuesday = another deadline).
It appears that I have settled into the life of a graduate student. While I was lonely and sad at first, I rather enjoy it now. It's hard; I'm always busy; I'm consistently stressed, but the satisfaction of accomplishing goals (short term and long term) makes the pain worth it. Yes, I kind of like this stress.
At this point, I do feel like I belong here. Of course, this changes constantly, but overall I know this is the best place for me. I'm even... dare I say it... kind of happy.
Plus, I saw Danzig last night.
glad to hear you're doing so well. i knew grad school would suit you perfectly. i can just see you walking around campus, toting around all your books and looking so intellectually superior...
