Bone Tired
Get it? Bone tired? I'm a funny anthropologist, ha!
Yeah. So... the past two weeks have kicked my ass all over the map. I've had exams and assignments due in every class and the beginning of the month crunch at work sucks too. People are getting more than a 24 hour wait on answers to emails sometimes and for me personally thats a touch unacceptable. I'm trying but there is severe salmon syndrome... upstream all the time. However, we're looking at upgrading our billing software which in the mean times means current stress times 100 for me, but will eventually be way less work for me. I think I might need to work this weekend. As well as study this weekend. *sigh*
The good news? I got a really substantial raise last week. Yay! I got As on all my exams last week. I'm not sure about the exam yesterday, I guess we'll see next week. If I continue to work my ass off I might make it through the semester with straight As again, we'll see. Damn GPA being necessary for grad school. At least at school now most people are interested, want to do well and are serious anth students. That is making for interesting classes.
Mikaela turns a year old on Monday. Can you believe it? A year old. My baby is growing up way too fast. She still won't say "Jen" - she always says "Mama" to me... which I think secretly means thats what she calls me, but shhh, don't tell Melissa. I may get to do my primate behavior project on her... after all, she's a little primate, right? My monkey toes. I plan to get her a cool primate book for her birthday. Or a stuffed something. We'll see.
So yeah, just random updates you'll prolly skim rather than read. Just wanted to let you know I'm not dead yet. ;)
