I am so glad this semester is almost over. I've had so much work: I've had a 2000-word-plus essay or a 15 minute presentation every week, and only one thing I've handed in matters for my grade. Everything else is unassessed. So I've been doing all this work for nothing, essentially, and I'm really pretty burnt out now. Also, I haven't been putting

what topics are you considering?

i agree, it's anticlimatic to not get comments especially when you've worked so hard... it deters you from working hard in the future.

it might be a good idea to take a personal day off? being a student isn't nearly as structured as having a 9-5, but it definitely helps my sanity to occasionally spend a day forbidding myself to think about thesis/school. i hear shopping and bad music videos help :)

you've been to france, right?

Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to do a historical topic or something current. I love history and I'd really like to do one, but I don't know if I'll run the risk of being irrelevant or losing track of the political side.

I took a day last week and visited museums, which was lots of fun, except that I probably should have waited until this week after I had handed everything in... oh well.

I was in both France and Germany in 2004, so it wouldn't be anywhere new, which is actually good because I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time chasing after my little cousins.

How's your thesis coming?
