a little bit of...
So has begun a week of exhaustion and unending responsibilities. I need to formulate a poster presentation for the national WEFTEC conference (so far the data I have is not up to my expectations). The positive side to that comes on Sunday when I arrive in Dallas, TX. That will officially be the furthest West I have ever been in my life. I also have back to back midterms tomorrow. When I say back to back I mean it. First midterm is from 12:30 to 1:50 and the next is from 1:50 to 3:30. These are important tests too. At the graduate level about 80% of your grade come from two tests, the midterm and the final.
I continue to look forward to my upcomming trip to NY this Christmas. I am excited to see snow again as well as wear 5 shirts, sweatpants under my jeans, and 3 heavy blankets at night... mmm snuggly. I will also get the chance to smell good ole artificial heat from gas furnaces..! sweet.!
My wardrobe has taken a major turn as of late. Since the begining of this semester I have been investing in more professional attire. And just recently had a suit tailored for me. The motivation was the conference but I am glad to have these wardrobe options now. The sad part: All of my old T-shirts I love so much are beging to rot before mine eyes. My evil dead shirt, the JNCO shirt I have had since my move to florida, and my Deftones shirt are among these casualties. They are slowly being retired one by one to a box that one day will be opened and memories of all the wonderful times and people those times were shared with will fill my mind.
Something on my mind as of late: Do I need a PhD? It is so difficult to know that I could be making uber loot right now but instead I have financially retarded myself to pursue the highest academic degree. I see the benefits to doing this, but is this something I should do. Such a difficult question to answer. I would love to be a professor, but I am not sure I want to fight tooth and nail for Funding nor play the political game. In all honesty, I am worn and tired by the thought of playing games. Some people are made for such manipulations. I, on the other hand, prefer to take the direct route. Anyways, enough of my ramblings... It would not be a SaM post if there were not words that rhymed... So here is my offering to those who delight in playful words of thought and life:
The warmth of sun slowly tickles the interest of a lazy day made anew,
perfection has flaws that make it perfect and unique,
as colors have shade and shadow to define their shape,
The thoughts of vigourous life whisper upon the ears of nature's bloom
As time will tell, the fields of flowering innocence will return.
to remind those of weak or hardened hearts, who they once were.
The day will shimmer and the night's cold comfort will embrace,
the earthly children and their cheerful ways.
