the future is here
Everything is moving so fast! I got into grad school at UT, but I'm still waiting to hear about funding, and no funding = no Anna, but I'm hoping for good things, the signs are good. I can't believe my senior year is almost over - I know there's a whole semester in front of me, but I'm about to turn in the 2 meatiest chapters of my thesis, and I only have three "real" classes this semester, that's definitely do-able. All of a sudden its 111 days till graduation, we're getting a new president and I'm thinking in terms of a new place to live, a new city, a new everything. I'm scared to death to move in these uneasy times, especially with Tyler needing a job - I'm so glad I won't have to think about these things. I bought a new car - complete with seatbelts and airbags. Her name is Sandy Spectra. I've never had a new car, I don't know that anyone in my immediate family has, but it was a good move for me.
I'm in a coffee shop all day today since I decided I wasn't going to do any work last week, so thanks to MLK day I get to catch up virtually stress free.
Things are happy even though they're scary (do they really think I know enough to go to grad school - to get a PhD in math?!?). This was never the place I pictured being at the end of my college career. I pictured sticking around Raleigh, going to vet school, ya know animals - not mathematics. But I'm happy I was able to choose this path.
I've finally learned to take school on like its my job, not my life. It's an odd transition that I can't quite explain, but its a different feeling, it's not so consuming, and I know how to put it away, and I know that failure is not an option. It's just the things you have to accomplish to keep moving. If only I could take on money making like it was a job - Tripps hasn't been so great lately, but I'm sure everything will work out - it always does even though it looks impossible. OK I have to go back to my thesis-ing since I'm needing to write this much about math, not about life.
Happy end of the Bush era to all who still read this!
