Life is way busier…

…. when you completely blank on the class project.
For the second semester in a row I am taking a “full load” of 12 credits (standard grad school rate is 9/semester). This means a lot of juggling on all fronts, especially with other things going on in life and the value this blog provides. So perhaps it’s understandable that I, er…
had one of those nightmare moments.
Fortunately, the final project is designed to build on work we’ve done all semester long, so in one mind-frying morning I was able to gather together 25 pages of near-gibberish together that at least informed me of what I needed to do. Then today revise (meaning completely writing the bulk of that), plus editing the rest. All on “dead weak,” when I’ve been trying to get this semester’s work done away. (Apartment shopping is on Saturday, the day that this project turns out to be due, and except for some assistantship stuff I want to begin summer work this coming week.)
The worst of it: it’s amazingly delightful outside, in the sort of if-you-sit-down-you-fall-asleep-in-the-cool-breeze-and-warm-sunshine sort of way.
Youch!

Life is for the strong, Dan.
Sometimes all you can do is just pound it out
Bash away, sir. Bash away!

Finished.
Wow.
Now to get to all the work I’ve been putting off…
