Well I just finally got up my nerve to check the last one of my pending Ph.D applications online, and I didn't get in. And I kind of knew I wouldn't too. I suspect it had something to do with not getting a new installment of my current thesis submitted to my supervisor as soon as I should have due to a bad combination of procrastination and ( Read more... )

Wow! I haven't posted in ages! Mostly because I'm lazy, but also because, for some reason, I couldn't think of anything coherrent to say. Or rather I could, but then when I thought about sitting down to right it, the energy to do so and the wording would just evaporate ( Read more... )

So I just sent a draft of my MRP (Major Research Paper=slightly undersized Masters thesis) proposal off to my soon-to-be supervisor for review before I submit it to the department. Wow! It's seemed a little surreal to me all year that I'm really doing this - that I'm really doing my Masters, and that I might really get to do it on Phantom, but ( Read more... )

I've got an essay due on Friday that I want to pull an A on, and I can't for the life of me think how to word it! I've done all my research and shit, and I've been able to put down all my thoughts in point-form, but they're still disjointed. They're not quite coming together into a unified arguement the way I'd like them to. I'm going to go ( Read more... )

Hmmm.  This is weird.  For some reason, LJ is not letting me log in.  I hope it posts this.  I was, now that I've finally got that last essay from my Summer courses done and sent in, going to post another short story.  But now I'll be very happy if I can get back into my own blog!  I wonder if I somehow pissed it off when I told my browser not to ( Read more... )

Holy cricket am I exhausted! After this I am definitely going to bed. I even feel too tired to eat something, in spite of the fact that I'm starving. And I know that I shouldn't let myself go hungry, but God I want to sleep ( Read more... )

Finished yet another essay! Now only one more to go plus exams, and then I'm done for the summer! And the best part, not to mention the most amazing part, is that I actually got it done in plenty of time. No scrambling to get the citations put in at the last minute and running late for class, and no all-nighter for once although admittedly I ( Read more... )
