Fall Break!
I miss the days when Fall Break meant having time to sleep and do fun stuff!
My To Do list for this break:
-Write the first draft of my thesis. Including research, experimental design, and 25 pages of writing.
-Write my Religion paper
-Do my Discrete Math homework
-Read for Senior Sem (once Greg posts the papers)
-Learn all my lines
-Try and relax at Cape May?
On the plus side, I wrote 5 pages of my thesis today. I also did the first half of my Discrete Math homework. The other half I can't really do until we cover the material in class. I mean, I could try and teach it to myself, but since I don't need to turn it in until Friday after we get back, it's not a priority just yet. Hopefully Greg will post the papers for Senior Sem before the weekend, so I can get that done this week as well. And the Religion paper will just kinda get worked on in my extra time. *sigh*
I am also aiming to learn one Act's worth of lines each day so I should be finished before we go to Cape May over the weekend. That at least is a lot of fun. Learning lines (other than the sheer number of them) isn't too hard for me, and I am LOVING this part! If it isn't too awkward, I may try my hand at some fic. I have yet to decide whether it'd be awkward, since the characters I'd be writing about are all being played by friends of mine... Hmmm... But I seriously love this part. I can't wait for off-book rehearsals!
Things I am not going to do over break include:
-Prep for the GREs
-Research grad schools
-Write SPT Bible revisions
I'm pretty sure getting my applications in order by Dec 1st would be the straw that beats me into the ground and kills me this semester. (I'm not a camel.) Plus, I want to take time off anyway, so why should I be worried about trying to get admitted into a program for next fall when I have no intention of starting grad school next fall? Instead, I'm going to try and pitch the BUNAC idea (living and working in New Zealand or Australia) to my parents. Wish me luck (or lick, as I just typed). Academia can kind of go #$%^ itself. I need some non-student time to travel and learn what it's like to live on my own, with the money I'm working to earn. Plus, my application will be stronger after I've completed my major and after I've had more than a half of two classes with the same prof. And maybe I'll have museum experience. And maybe I'll know what I want to do with my life. And maybe I'll figure out that doesn't include an MS or a PhD. And then I'll have saved myself a lot of stress and time. And if not, I'll only be a little behind. Now if only my parents will sign off on this plan. *sigh*
Because I don't know where else to put this, and I feel like I need to make a note of it for my own reference later: Flapflapflapchain^4? 5? How will this turn out?
On the plus side, I have a cat on my lap and hot cider and ginger snaps on the table next to me. And fuzzy socks. And I get to spend time with my parents and sister. And I got to sleep in this morning. And I'm 2 episodes away from being caught up on all of my shows! So I promise I'm not too stressed out and/or overworked.
