Just... trying my damndest not to let the summer do me in. ( Cut for vaguely specific ramblings about the last couple of months. )

florida keys, rl update, school, ta-ing, lab, *sigh*, photography, work, conference, research, *headdesk*, traveling, travel, experiments, -_-;;;, guh

What exactly did you do to piss off the scheduling gods?

Hopefully this year's TAing won't be anywhere near as bad as the last.

cailamaia August 1 2012, 17:32:39 UTC

No idea. *facedesk* I really just don't fucking even.

Dear gods, I sure as hell hope so. Not sure I could do that again and juggle everything else. Not and stay sane.

*pets* They are cruel and capricious.

I was more than a little concerned about you by the end of the year.

cailamaia August 1 2012, 18:02:17 UTC

Tell me about it.

*snort* Me too. I'm still not really back to 100%, but close enough for government work. At least I'm making forward progress. I spent so much time last semester feeling like I was getting nowhere that it's a relief to be *doing* something. Even if I'm still feeling worn out.

Tired is better than frustrated any day.

No argument there.

Ugh, I am not really looking forward to writing up my dissertation. Blech. That promises to be a painful experience, if my last two (albeit successful) attempts are any indication. Stupid formatting requirements. *hiss*

*pets and cuddles you*

Something tells me that next semester may well be the most insane yet. One paper nearly ready for resubmission for publication, a second in the works in the form of experiments, two confirmed conferences, TAing, dissertation writing, and the gods only know what else. I may end up in Chicago over Thanksgiving. Maybe. That's unconfirmed as of yet.

I'm eyeing that list and it makes me wonder why in the hell I signed up for this, again...

lil_1337 August 1 2012, 19:45:42 UTC

Ugh that sounds crazy. Hopefully this time you will be able to get to see more of Chicago if you do end up going.

cailamaia August 1 2012, 20:06:36 UTC

It would be nice. I'd certainly like to. I'm sure there's a wide selection of things to look at that I didn't get to last time. Which, given that I basically had a single day to work with, isn't too surprising.

lil_1337 August 1 2012, 20:12:06 UTC

From what I understand there is a hell of a lot to see.
