Getting through the next month
I'm nearing the end of what was originally going to be my first year of grad school. Since I wouldn't be able to graduate this semester (being a whopping one credit hour short) and want to make this degree as worthwhile as possible, I'm going to go for broke (so to speak) and do a second year. The second year will be markedly different than the first, which is good, as this first year has gotten mentally tiring. A break sounds very, very nice about now, and I've just got to keep my motivation up--for two classes in particular--in order to finish strong. I haven't gotten out much either, on account of the ever-temperamental weather, particularly on the weekends.
I'm dealing with some not-so-happy family problems at the moment. I don't want to say much for now, given that I don't know how a lot of it is going to play out. Hopefully it works out for the best, one way or another...
Have been to a few recent concerts that are really making me miss playing. When I visit my mom sometime this summer, I'll probably try bringing my instrument back with me and maybe try to join a group on campus next year (if they'll let a stodgy old grad student coyote like me into the group, anyway!).
Much thanks to hastka for sending me this video--SFW, but absolutely hilarious. Yay for being cheered up by spastic wuffies!
