Ups and Downs...Need Thicker Skin?

[reading_is_in]

So last week I was all YAY about this PhD, this week feels rather different. Okay, part of this is due to lack of sleep because Zara got stuck in a fence and required rescue and etc...don't ask. She's fine, general cat escapades. Anyway, yesterday was my turn to submit a chapter to PhD club and have other people critique it, and it was pretty harsh

Baw, Twitter has a tendency to shove messages way several pages down if I don't check it constantly... and I don't :/

But sure, what time

I have been reprimanding myself as the inimatable Allie Brosh does: 'Don't you know there are people who have diseases? And whose pets are dead?'

You will always run into a few antisocial weirdos who willfully misinterpret your requests. Roll your eyes and move on. ;D

New SPN? Are you sure??

O NO WAYT THERE ISN'T

WHY ALL THE HELLATUSNESS, Season 7?

I suppose I can't really complain given that Kathy and Lynn were forcibly ejected from con venues during their research :D

[write_light]

Yes, but they've also interviewed Kripke, so....

Sorry to burst your Friday bubble, but yeah, hellatus until March 16. It has everything to do with getting the finale eps into May sweeps weeks, around which all TV things revolve (November, February, May).

Still, 23 eps instead of 22! :D

Also, thank you for your encouragement. Have some visual candy:

Zara's escapades are getting increasingly frightening/hilarious. Looking forward to hearing that story on Saturday!

Chin up, pretty lady. I recommend you have a dance to this:

That is a good song XD. Re: when to meet, see my response to K above. Glad you're feeling better enough to come! x

Boo. :( ((phdhugsofsolidarity)) Your research is awesome. Some of us are looking forward to citing you in the near-ish future. You are a good teacher. *You* are awesome: a good researcher, writer, and kitty momma. Keep on rocking it out, reading_is_in!

Sometimes I dream I'm in my high school vaguely trying to convince people that I really don't need to sit the GCSEs...I'm pretty sure I did this already....XD
