Awww I’m sure you’re doing well and will have an okay time with managing your app(s). I’m just a bit crazed - in more ways than one to be honest - and have been managing my application doc for the better part of a year now.

Thank you so much sweetness! I’m glad you are back being optimistic and social! I’ve been avoiding grad school for several years now (it’s been 10 since I got my Bachelor’s) and it is high time I took this stupid test and ended up in a Master’s program (paving the road to a Ph.D) to prove my SMAHTS. Jumping through…

All I can send you right now is a pic of GRE books and a screen shot of grad school apps. My life is BLARGH but hopefully 6 months from now it will be BAMF. Grad school here I come!

Tom weirds me out. He seems really commitment-phobic (the bus anyone?) and quick to cast aspersions on everyone else. Plus I just find him unattractive and he annoys the hell out of me with his hygiene, or lack thereof.

I’m always late to this because I work Saturdays now *blargh grumble grumble*

I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about that man....

I wonder if the working title for Martha and Snoop’s show is actually potluck because they’re aiming for a pun. Also I have an unnatural adoration for that woman (and her adorable friendmance with Snoop) so I will be watching :)

So is anyone else watching the absolute trash that is Danielle and Mohammed? (From 90 Day Fiance fame).

Yeah I feel that. I was only salty because they tried to assign a meeting on one of my days off next week and my supervisor who put it on the schedule wasn’t in yesterday so I couldn’t tell him I can’t make it. Stupidly annoyed because work is still work and I won’t truly fulfilled until I get through grad school (in…

I’m a bit of a tough teacher so that’s my go-to. Good luck!

Ooooh that’s my field too, except I’m more likely to be in Ed Policy or Higher Ed with a focus on Af Am Education. Best of luck with your dissertation!

Yay for FT dissertation mode! Any idea about when you’ll finish? That’ll hopefully be me in several years. Right now it’s time to continue studying for my GREs and pretend I know what to say for SOP. What’re you studying if you don’t mind my asking?

That’s ridiculous. Will you be able to cut down on the number of students or do you have to take everyone? I would be tempted to give a tough set of assignments and then keep whomever decided to rise to the occasion. Must’ve been screwed up scheduling today, because my job pulled a couple of things over on me that…

I haven’t worked weekends since I worked retail 7 years ago (yikes can’t believe it’s been that long!) I luckily have Sundays off but my job fought really hard for Saturdays so it’s been an adjustment. I told them for the next several months I am not working Fridays though so we’ll see how that goes. It’s been a bit…

Yeah except I’m too lazy (and truly too swamped) to really enjoy it. The next few months will see me swamped with Grad school prep, including taking my GRE (likely the end of next month) and starting my classes while managing a semi-demanding part-time schedule at work. Blargh :o/

Yep, although hopefully moving away next summer. I need a break from here.

I made it through my second week at work, and my full one in charge of managing students. More importantly, I was actually asked to train a new employee and I am consistently being told that I am doing an excellent job.

That’s a wonderful way to look at things. I need to start remembering this when I feel down on myself.

Maybe let him know that you’re spending time with family and that he should find somewhere else to hang out?

Well I’m super lazy and unoriginal so marathoning tv (HGTV or crappy reality tv shows) are my go-tos. When I’m bored with that, I usually listen to music, read blogs or maybe go for a walk. I’m pretty much a homebody.
