Wha-o.
I haven't updated in a long while, or been super-active, because... I've been enjoying life, in a new-ish way? Lots more hanging out, exploring what I like in my work, living a "normal college lifestyle" etc.
Right now, however, it is ten days before I need to have the main body-text of my thesis draft completed, with a two day break in the middle (Sat. afternoon - Mon. morning) owing to concertizing my final, senior clarinet recital (look forward, 99% chance, to an MP3 recording...!). What this means is all my procrastination, white lies, short-cuts, errata, self-doubt, draft-y drafting is coming to the fore: I have a chapter-ish amount to write, an impossible amount to edit & format, not to mention some appendix charts that have just flatlined.... and.... that is so not cool.
Then, this morning, after a really funky writing ordeal? My professor drops something awesome into my lap.
The end of MY revisions? Not the end of the total revision process. Thanksgiving break doesn't have to be a dead zone, either (though, I DO plan to use some of that week to do NOTHINNNNNNG!!!). My semester won't be as flash-bang-nothing as I wanted/expected, but its more... reasonable.
I'm starting to like that word more and more by the day, yaknow?
So really, this week I am writing the end of my thesis. Perhaps actually doing classwork that should be DONE.... at some point. Next week I'll slave away at edits and formatting while doing actual school work, I won't let my concert destroy my nerves and.... hey, I'm accepting something for what it is instead of killing myself over it!?
Who'd have thought you could be healthy AND productive. Seems everyone's semi-happy, at least.
Ranting and raving on my status aside: for some reason its hilarious to laugh at people for doing stupid things you've already done stupidly and wised-up to. Kekeke.
