Pollywog's Log of Life

I've been super crazy, and things are starting to wind down but by no means are they over. I woke up feeling maybe around 80%, my sinus's feel pretty under pressure, and otherwise ok, but I'm really hoping I feel better by the afternoon. There isn't any other really big news as I only have one homework assignment and one final between me and the end of school. I look back on the past couple weeks and I'm pretty happy I didn't stress out TOO much. Obviously I was stressed but it felt better than during undergrad when I think back and somehow it felt more rough and way more stressed. My thoughts are pretty scattered today. I need to get this homework assignment done, but I keep having moments where I think about my place in the world compared to the people I know. Then that gets me going on questions like am I happy where I am right now? (yes) Where am I going to be in the near future? (who knows) and similar questions. This seems to happen at life turning e

My final defense is Thursday morning and then...well, two more finals but I'm so not worried about those. I'm almost done! =)

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

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
