No Wireless Wednesday

To be honest, I know this is late. I had all intentions of writing yesterday but it just slipped my mind. I was up until 1:30am, and around 12:15am was when I realized it was Thursday already. Now, you must be thinking, just write one quickly and post it asap. Well, the only problem is I have test Thursday (today) and I was just in the groove and not paying attention to the time. I also don't have internet in my apt, it's just not a necessary bill I need right now. Since I spend most of my days on campus where there is ample internet, I really don't have a need for it at home. I just make sure I have the files I need to work on and that usually does it. It helps that I use dropbox, because I'll work on a file through my dropbox folder on my laptop at home, and as long as I bring my laptop to campus (I usually do), it will sync all my folders when I get connected. Then if I ever do work on a school computer, I have all my folders updated in dropbox.

It's actually kind of nice living without internet. There are some drawbacks obviously, but overall it's kind of nice to know that it's just me in my apartment and there isn't anyone through a fiber optic cable waiting to talk to me or bothering me or something. Having a smartphone sort of takes care of checking social networks or any quick searches I might need to do in Google, but really it's probably better since I don't like being on my phone all the time. It cuts back on the "I need an immediate response" impulse, which I've said before I need to work on.

I'm sorry about not posting yesterday, really I am. I assume this means I'm out of the competition although I plan to keep blogging each day the rest of this week regardless. 
This is me sorry for not keeping up with you guys and blogging =( Wish me luck on my test.

    I like the idea of not having internet at home but having a mobile phone defies the objective of being switched off.

    Don't worry about not posting yesterday. The whole thing is supposed to be fun, not an obligation. Don't take it too serious. There are more important things in life such as your test. Best of luck with that ;)

    p.s. love your expression in that photo... LOL

A Busy Grad Student's Update on Life

I just got an update on JT's most recent blog challenge and unfortunately I missed out in participating (just too busy!) but I did skim some of the blogs, and I plan to go back and read them later. A lot of the tips I saw were about "keep writing" and "blog a lot", which I like and it's true, if you don't keep it up then it feels harder to get back into. I've gotten more comfortable in writing shorter posts just for the sake of getting something up so people don't think I've forgotten about my blog. Listen up though! I'm so close to graduating and I need to stay focused or else it could all crumble apart! I don't think that's very likely but I need to stay focused nonetheless. I had one of the best classes last night though, my once a week 3 hour long class. My professor was in a good mood and just feeling light I guess, he kept making jokes and going way off track from the material. He has good tangents, the ones you like list

Serene Saturday

Image
Well, I've been out and about mostly today(Saturday) which has been a nice change from recent weeks. It must be a testament to how much I haven't been doing though, because I was tired by the time we got back in the afternoon. BUT, it was a good day and I did get some pictures, but I apologize because they were taken on my phone. We were in a rush out the door that I forgot my camera. I was on a walk though, here are some of my pictures. The weather was pretty nice even though it looks dreary. It was overcast but not raining, all in all a good temperature and not too bright of sunshine.  Some of the geese were out but only a few. My conclusion is that some have headed back (or possibly never migrated this winter) from the south, but it seems most have no returned yet. I was at this lake a little bit ago with my boyfriend John, in the fall I think, and the geese were all over the shore. We had brought stale bread to feed to the geese. Needless to say, the geese got pretty c

Countdown to End of Line

It's Wednesday and I have a brief amount of time to write a post. I have a timeline going at home, with countdowns of the days until my next three biggest life events. 3.5 days until comprehensive exam (Part 1) 13 days until comprehensive exam (Part 2) 16 days until my defense for graduation These countdowns are scary and yet comforting, because they remind me exactly how much time I have. The more I know and prepare, the less scary the event will be. 17 days from today, I will have a LARGE drink of the liquor variety, because let's face it, I really will deserve it. Unlike all the other times I have a drink, those are just because I want to chill out or it's the weekend. In case you didn't count which day that first exam is, it's this Saturday. Yup, the Saturday before Easter. What's messed up is that we don't have classes on Friday (Good Friday and all), yet our professor feels he's only available to hold this exam the day between a no-classes day
