Scheduling My Defense

I have feedback from my committee for my masters project.

I'll be revising this weekend.

Currently, I'm attempting to schedule my defense. It is looking like May 4th around 4pm.

Now I just need to get papers done so that I can focus on my defense. My brain is soooooooooooo tired.

Blogging Hiatus

It's that time of the semester. It might be a while before I blog again.

Hopefully, when you hear from me again I will have an MA instead of being the loser who couldn't finish her stupid writing project.

...still no feedback. I'm getting anxious.

Be happy for the next month!

Things Are Nice

I feel pretty good about life.

1. I turned in a full draft of my project on Friday.
2. I got a hair cut to get rid of the nasty dead hair from my misadventures with hair dye over spring break.
3. I cleaned the house today. Everything smells like orange. Mmmmm.
4. Lindsey and I are frying fish for dinner.
5. It looks like I'm going to beat Chris at Scrabble.
6. I think I found the perfect place to live in Grand Junction.

The only things working against me are allergies, my cat is shedding right now, and I'm a bit behind on my tech writing project. I can't really complain. Two of those are seasonal, and the other I can get done.

Nothing can take me down now that I have a full draft of my writing project. I best be grading now though. I promised my students I would get caught up this weekend.
