Last semester about 3 weeks ago I thought it might be possible to die of stress in grad school. Well today, in ONE day (better yet, the FIRST day), I am already as stressed as I was 3 weeks ago! I know it's only 8 weeks, but there is so much to do. It wouldn't be so bad if I were going to be here this weekend to bust all this work out and get ahead, but we're going on a trip and I have every minute booked until we leave with work and classes! I guess I have a few hours to do homework, but not near enough time... there is just so much to do in these classes.
Anyways on a happier note we started our thesis work today! We have to go through all our data (its already been collected from a bunch of previous studies) but we have to organize and code it and combine it to use in our thesis. The nice things: I like to organize, the job pays pretty well, and I get to do it with 2 of my favorite people! The annoying things: it's going to take forever, we still don't know what we're doing (or if we'll ever really know!), and then after all these we'll have to write and defend our thesis. STINKY! But it also means the end of school is in sight, and with that end comes *drum roll* a salary!!!!! That will be a beautiful thing, especially considering that every single job in provo gets snatched up in about 10 minutes of it being open (even early morning, and middle of the night custodial jobs!) In case you haven't guessed, the two jobs that were open as of yesterday morning for custodial on campus are already filled and Thomas is still unemployed. Its only 9 weeks until we go to California and he does his internship, but he's already been doing nothing for about 10 weeks- so he's going little crazy. Of course he can always read, but he'd like to be able to do SOMETHING besides being my stay at home wifie! ;)
Well I have procrastinated my ridiculously large homework load long enough, and its almost my bedtime..
