I am depressed today. This week is just wearing on me. Plus it’s winter, plus today it was drizzling and generally gray. All of which combine to just make me sad. I need a good way to just relax and let some of this stress drip away. I want to run, but I think if I go in the rain, I will just be even more miserable. I haven’t even been hungry today. Ugh. I would say I’m looking forward to the weekend, except I’m going to have to spend it studying because I have a midterm, homework assignment, or presentation every single day next week. So I guess I am looking forward to the weekend after this. Well, at least the end (even if a temporary one) is in sight.
If anyone has any good suggestions for how to take a half hour relaxation break or something, please, by all means, tell me.
Apparently there are a couple people at Georgia Tech who recently found out via Jen that I am moving to Houston to work, and were surprised. I guess they had me pegged as a straight-to-Ph.D. person. Not so weird. I had myself pegged as that person. Funny how things change. Now I just don’t know what I want, but I know I want a break from what I’m doing now. The advantage of a non-thesis master’s is that I finish in a year…and I didn’t think there was a disadvantage. However, I have found one.
The disadvantage is that a non-thesis master’s program is really no different from undergrad. I still go to five classes, I still have homework, I still have midterms and finals. Basically, I still feel like an undergrad. Five years of undergrad was ok…six years is just too much. Honestly. Heh.
