And Another Change of Plans
I talked to my advisor, and she thinks that I should continue in the program but keep my professors informed on what's going on and go to their office hours regularly. She said that I would only have a little over a month left when I go to my mom's house. She said that it was good that I'm not taking a 400-level course in the summer but just working on my final project.
There's some serious rain.
I've started biting my nails since my mom has been ill. I stop myself when I catch myself, but it's an annoying new habit.
Talked to Mom, and she really needs me to come out. I'm trying to reschedule stuff next week to come out on Wednesday. It would be good for me to come out also because I need to rearrange stuff for when I bring the cats out in late March.
I was texting with my mom's friend Kate, and she suggested that I fly to Detroit next week and fly back to Chicago and leave for my train trip from there. It might actually work. And I would actually have time to study for my test on that Thursday.
Oy. I was trying to see what hotel I will be at in Chicago, when I discovered that Alaska Airlines changed my flight back from San Francisco to one during the day. (My ticket was for a redeye.) Then I found a redeye on United, but it was really expensive. A redeye the following day was cheaper, go figure. I'd have to take a 1/2 day off of work that Monday. I booked that flight. Who knows when Alaska will refund my fare.
I was going to get up early to do more homework, but it's gotten late. And I still need to figure out what hotel I'm staying at in Chicago. Okay, I found the hotel. No airport shuttle. Getting downtown could add $100, but I need to check out the "L" from O'Hare Airport. Yeah, that will work. And I can take the bus to the train station the following day.
I need to get to bed. Maybe I should take a shower now so that I could sleep later.
