A perfectly nice day outside and I couldn't be bothered to leave the house today.
Actually I did go to Target but that was all. The first time in weeks it hasn't been windy and I didn't even get my kayak out. I used every excuse in the book not to get out there this weekend. I don't know what's wrong with me other than a major case of the blah's.

Feeling kind of alone right now I guess. I've been deserted this weekend but with nothing to keep me occupied, it's been quite boring.

And I have no idea where my thesis stands right now. I sent in the draft nearly a month ago. It must be really bad because I have heard nothing yet. I have a feeling I will not get done in time to finish up this semester to avoid paying summer tuition. I think I am still on track to graduate in August. I had better be.

1. Anxiety and the blahs
here's to hoping that you get some news on your thesis and that the blahs leave you soon!

:toast:

:hug:

2. Thanks.
reminds me of that Tom Petty song:

The Waiting is the hardest part.

Well, it's not like I did nothing. Yesterday I drove out looking for wildflowers, specifically bluebonnets. But I didn't see any. It's been dry so it might not be a good year for them.

5. i was tired stayed in most of the day
but then I got out and did yard work --but not too much.

i found grad school very lonely in general. 1 year in and I went to my advisor and said, "help, get me out of here!". took a year to finish after that but I made it through with a Master's. i'm not PhD material.

6. I can sympathize: I took forever with my thesis
waiting on professors, everything. But it's so great to finish it, I felt like I was two years younger.
