Ya Gotta Believe!
January 04, 2006
back to academics
 

a phone call from my professor this weekend has given me a new burst of energy on my last project. i had stalled on this project due to some major personal nonsense. now i feel like i can do it. not only that, but i feel like i have someone on my side which was something that i was sorely lacking in this department so far.
i am still considering a different time period for my concentration, but for now i will just keep getting through until the requirements are fulfilled. i do have a sort-of, kind-of advisor at this point and that helps. i also have people who are asking me to consider their field and let's face it, a little ego stroking never hurts. i am going to have to set up a better schedule for writing so that i get more accomplished than i have been and so that what does get accomplished isn't drivel.

spent the afternoon with my sister and her girls. i don't have girls to shop for so it is always fun to do a little girly shopping.

off to fight back the laundry. i think it has already taken over in one room and is plotting to takeover bedroom. be afraid. be very afraid. either that or give up and buy more clothes!
