So I'm moving to brooklyn tomorrow. I wasn't sure if this was a good idea or not, but my parents are arguing again and I can't focus.
I found a cheap apartment a few blocks south of Brooklyn college. The landlord is nice, and she does strictly enforce the rules- there is no drinking, parties, drugs, "boom boom" music (lol) allowed. It's tailored to graduate students who need a quiet environment.
I think I've been pretty depressed lately. I've been sleeping during the day, I still get overwhelmed when I work on my thesis (and finishing it still feels out of reach), and the fact that I start my phd in a little over a week only makes me more overwhelmed because I'll have a really hard time working on my thesis once the semester starts. I feel like I have no life. I hate sleeping late, I'm getting easily irritated by every little distraction (though, 90% of it is from my parents). I've gained weight and I'm hardly getting exercise. I feel like crap. I'm only happy when I get out of the house. I need to escape.
So lets hope this works out well.
