where did the time go?

Spring Break came and went and I didn't even leave Manhattan. John and I were talking to Daniel and he said that there were two reasons why this Spring Break was non-existent: First, it was not SPRING--It was snowing the first few days and the rest of it was COLD; and two, break? WHAT BREAK???? I second that. I worked the whole week--and not even on things that I needed to get done--like my research or anything academic. I actually went to the office and WORKED every day. Ah, yes...the life of a grad student....sigh....

Six weeks to go before the summer hits. WOW. I'll go through the entire six weeks on panic mode. But I've long realized that I work best IN panic mode. When the pressure is on, I bring my A-game. I think (and work) best under stress. hahahaha. How screwed up is that? When there's time to spare, my brain is more likely to go on idle longer. It's weird and I know it will all catch up with me someday...but for right now, this is what works. And if what works brings me a semester closer to walking across the stage, then hey...hello, sleepless nights!

I just got off the phone with Myong Jae, my friend who now works in HK Polytechnic University. I am even more convinced that I should pursue a faculty position there when I graduate. I am excited. I'll be an hour away from home! And besides, HK's the shopping capital of Asia....why wouldn't I be excited? hahahaha

I also found out that my co-major professor is moving to another school come fall semster. That's just great [insert your favorite sarcastic-looking smiley thingy here]. Another complication that I really don't need right now. Hmmm...this will make for a very interesting year ahead. Dissertation by distance. Wonderful...

But first thing's first. Gotta get at least 1 more chapter done tonight...sigh

Gotta stay afloat!
