The Good:

• I got new glasses today!
• Had a nice post-lunch lunch with my sweetie
• Got my performance reviews from my students last quarter, and they’re fantastic
• Think I have my classes figured out for next quarter
• Had a dream I was helping Eddie Vedder garden?
• Also had a dream Hilary Clinton was my mom and we were moving into the white house?
• Only missed half a point on my neuroimaging midterm
• Managed to cook a bit, vacuumed, and ironed!

The Other-than-Good:

• Feeling really grumpy lately
• Had a crap meeting with my research advisor wherein he didn’t listen to anything I said and tried to solve the problem I presented him with by using my exact same non-working solution and apparently not noticing…
• Dentist appointment tomorrow
• Quechua midterm on Monday…
• Semantics presentation coming up which I’m pretty nervous about (as in, I know nothing about the subject I’m presenting on and the readings suggested are aggrivatingly quatralingual (read: incomprehensible))
• Spent a thousand years trying to figure out what courses to take; still waiting for a professor to return my email…
• Mostly just grumpiness!

Yeah, so… that’s life.  Rambling along like usual, feeling like I’m stuck in slow motion and I’m not getting anything done.  I’m getting pleanty done.  I think last quarter was way more work than perhaps your average quarter, and thus I am now feeling aimless and deflated and underworked.  It seems ridiculous that being in grad school could be underworking me, but there you go.
