Well, I'm trying to finish up a section of my thesis to send off to my thesis director. I'm so distracted by so many things. I have dirty dishes in the sink, loud neighbors, loud neighbors' loud dogs, and trying to figure out how to have Christmas with two families. I have an ill family member, teacher evaluations (for me), and filing to do. I have meals to plan, groceries to buy, and dinners to cook. What is funny about all of this is that the one person that keeps me from going insane is also usually the one person that stresses me the most. I honestly believe that it's part of loving someone. No one is perfect so you have to deal with the small annoyances to get to the great person. There are so many cliches that are popping into my head: If you can't beat them, join them; something about lumps in mashed potatoes; I'm only human. Yeah, my mind isn't working very well if you can't tell. That's why I'm writing here for a moment instead of on my thesis. I would hate for writing this cruddy to end up on my thesis.
I had a brilliant moment the other day with my thesis. My dad was able to help me out and find a book that I really needed but could only seem to find in far away cities. Tomorrow I'll have a photocopy of the section I need. I'm really excited to sit down and read it.
I don't have much else to report. I'm excited for Christmas but not excited for having to drive a few hundred miles in a matter of a week. My birthday is also coming up and I have completely forgotten to plan anything. This is fairly common since my birthday is so close to Christmas and New Year.
I should get back to the important writing. It may be cruddy but that's better than blank pages. I might delete this post later. The writing is just horrid.
