remind me of this next quarter, hmm?
Nov. 26th, 2005 09:47 pmOkay, everyone ready for the deja-vu enducing memory note for myself? Really?
Here goes: My dearest girl, here is a reminder for you: next quarter, start your papers earlier. Actually, you don't have to start all of them early; just space them out, and actually work on them during the quarter, mmkay? So you don't end up doing them all over Thanksgiving in a turkey-leftover and apple juice fueled madness, okay? Because doing that just sucks.
Believe me, I know, because I'm in the middle of it right now. Yeah. And it sucks. So, to be brief, because I should be working:
- Turkeyday was good; Danica came and we cooked all day and then ate good food and then watched Westside Story.
- I am severely annoyed at my lack of seeing people this break--to everyone I said I'd see and then backed out on, I am SO VERY SORRY and please believe me when I say I would so much rather have been with you than doing what I have been doing.
- That is, doing homework. Because it is EATING ME ALIVE. No, really; when a skeleton comes staggering out of Casey 200 on next Wednesday, it will be because after orals, there is nothing left.
On a happier note, I saw Mirrormask on Wednesday--caught it on the last day at the Crest--and it was beautiful, and a whole lot of fun, and I want to see it again when it comes out. I loved it.
Mm. Back to work. If I die from an overdose of unwarranted academia, please remember that I liked you all very much.
[ETA: So I just glanced at this when I posted it and noticed that hey, next quarter is in fact January to March. So there won't actually be Thanksgiving break. Do you see what this is doing to my brain?]
