An update for anyone who cares.
So I finished writing my thesis a couple of weeks ago, and my thesis defense is scheduled for the Monday we get back from spring break at 9 a.m. I think my mom will try to come and maybe my boyfriend (if I'm lucky). It will be a wonderful, happy day, and I will have a huge burden completely lifted from my shoulders.
My WoW character hit level 60 two days ago. I started playing her in late December/early January... so that was 0 to 60 in about three months, maybe three and a half. I started a second character not too long ago who is already level 28. It must go faster each time around because you know what to expect.
As each day passes, I am getting less and less excited about my internship in Kentucky. I know it's a great opportunity, and I know I'll be getting paid $9/hour (which is the best-paying job I would have had so far), but I'm starting to feel a little skittish about being away from Garrett for three months. I know we'll be fine. We'll suck it up and deal with it gracefully. But it's going to make me irritable and uncomfortable and not as happy as I could be. I'm not going to cancel, because that would reflect horribly on me, and I'd be passing up a great opportunity. But it still sucks. I can't wait for the day that he and I can see each other EVERY DAY, and having to wait another three months for that is irritating.
My second cousin died this morning from Alzheimer's. He was super close to my family, and we are all very sad. But it's also kind of relieving because he has been a vegetable for about three years, and his poor wife has been taking care of his body for about that long. It's amazing how his body lived so long without his mind. He was a very athletic man in his youth, and it took a long time for his strong body to wear out. The funeral is Friday morning, so I am having to cancel my trip to the Society of Professional Journalists conference in Memphis. That is really disappointing, and my mom told me I didn't have to go to the funeral... but I would feel horrible if I didn't go. I would rather skip my trip than to have to deal with the guilt.
That's all I have to write for now.
