Starting the last term!

WELL! The break has been relatively eventful, with socialness, parties, and then being sick for four out of the first seven days of the year. That wasn't fun, especially since my schedule was flipped backwards and I was a complete night owl and completely awake at 4am, but getting up before 7am wasn't working. So, in other words, stress and socialness caused sickness. That and too much sweet and not enough good for me foods. What sucks is that I didn't get the money for those days, because I was not working. Really obnoxious! Hopefully Josh will have a job soon and I won't have to work too much, esp now that I am working on my thesis!

Which reminds me, I just checked out about 10 books to read over the next two weeks, as well as getting in contact with a bunch of storytellers (who are, incidentally, really cool amazing people) and get them to agree to being interviewed and recorded for the sake of my thesis project. Still reading up on ethnographic research first.

So I have been working on my thesis, wedding plans, and at my job. I will be having class at 8am four out of five days a week. I am thinking of working at 8am on the off day so that I am getting up at the same time every day. Then again, sleeping in would be nice.

My current job is not too bad. I am working on scanning right now, which is my job TTh for today and the next week. MWF I am back at Webdev where I should probably establish my hours for once school starts. I should also contact my other boss, too. Three jobs aren't too bad, so I think I will be okay.

I have been getting wrapped up in Piers Anthony books, since I was given some by my father. I want to know why books tend to get harder to put down the closer you get to the end. Because I really had to go to bed and it was really hard to put down the book. As a result, I am a little overtired today, but hey, I was interested. I have a few more pages left, so I want to finish it tonight. Problem is, then I have no more for-fun reading material and that means that I will have to work on thesis stuff (which I have been neglecting).

Classes start in just over a week and I am definitely anxious, since I don't know two of my professors and they are rumored to be difficult. I am really excited for my Medieval Intellectual History class, but I am not too excited for my 8am Environmental Chemistry class. Chem? First thing in the morning? And I have to pay attention? And I live off campus? It was hard when I was ON campus... *sigh* Oh well.

Okay, on to work!
