so i’m currently in the last-gasp cramming session for ph.d. qualifying exams. i got an email today announcing an info session next week to go over the process and the honor code and things like that, and we’ll find out the location and times soon. if i pass, i’ll become an official ph.d. student.
…hmm. at least that’s what i would be doing if i were at stanford.
this has been the strangest week. monday afternoon i went home sick. tuesday was normal, but then wednesday we did nothing but watch the weather channel to monitor lili’s progress. plus, wednesday for lunch we stopped by wendy’s and then ate it at matt’s apartment while watching the simpsons, which felt weird–to go “home” during the middle of the day. yesterday was normal enough i guess, except it felt like friday all day. and today, well, friday’s finally here and i have no idea what i’m doing this weekend.
it’s like the days are all foggy. time passes, but i don’t really remember it. i think it’s lack of sleep. {sigh} i mean, not entirely, but it is a proven fact that lack of sleep makes me a different–um, flakier, maybe?–person. and my 6 a.m. wakeup time three days a week for this fitness class is making things rough. what a catch-22! it makes me feel better to be exercising again, but it makes me feel worse to have to get up early to exercise.
there is a simple solution, of course. “go to bed earlier, sarah you dolt!” for unknown reasons, i have a hard time doing that.
something is just a little bit off, but i don’t know what.
jason and chris came over last night to watch the braves/giants game. the braves won 7-3, much to my relief but to the chagrin of the boys. game 3 on saturday, and in the meantime, i hope to see the a’s beat the twins this afternoon.
no big plans for the weekend. movie tonight, or maybe some random big corn maze?? (i don’t know where debbie gets this stuff.) nothing really on the schedule for tomorrow except soccer practice in the morning. a birthday lunch for katie on sunday. that’s about it. maybe i’ll spend some quality time at the pool…
