shoot a motherhumpin' moose 8 days a week
The days of work leading up to a long weekend or a vacation are the absolute worst. Especially when your boss, who is generally unreasonable anyway, becomes exponentially unreasonable in the days leading up to said vacation.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving a ton simply because it's 4 days I just don't have to think about anything else except turkey and Black Friday shopping. Yum, on both accounts. I've even gotten myself ahead a little bit in school work to prepare.
I finally finished my thesis abstract and had it approved by my thesis adviser, got all the paperwork signed, and rendered myself in an unbreakable contract to both sign up for and write the thesis within a reasonable period of time. I'm still alternating between trying to work my ass off and finish it by April of this coming semester or wait until next fall to turn it in. Depends on how hard my other (and last official!) class is that I'll be simultaneously taking. Phew. I'm actually sort of almost done with my MA, which is crazy. Mostly because I have to realistically start thinking of applying to PhD programs and meeting with profs and taking another GRE. Bleh.
Other than school, life has been pretty dull. I'm sick of hearing about babies and how awesome/adorable/exhausting/etc. they are. I wouldn't be sad if my life had no involvement with or talk of children (except the ones on TV that are entertaining) at all.
It got really cold last week all of a sudden and I still can't find any of my gloves. I think I just have 1 pair left, and I haven't looked that hard yet either, but we have moved apartments since the last time I wore them, so who knows where that shit is. It's become a serious problem because I now I won't just buy any kind of gloves, oh no, they must be spectacular. I found some awesome leather ones on J.Crew but in the end couldn't justify a $75 glove-purchase.
