Ok so this week I will hve worked 32 hours at the shop, been in classes for 10 hours, and put in 15 hours of study and writing time. Working while going to Grad school is teh suck! It is supposed to balance out now and I will be working 20 hours in one week and then have one week off, and that should continue through the rest of the term, but it has made this week extremely busy and extremely exhausting. The grad school part is amazingly enjoyable, the having to continue to be a poor student is not =( I am a little frayed around the edges this morning as I sit here at work, reading yet another set of articles and contemplating what to write about for my grad studies posting and am having trouble keeping focus. I really want it to be six o'clock so I can go home to my cosy apartment, curl up with a hot toddy, perhaps read for fun for a while or play a computer game and hopefully chat on the phone until I am ready for slumber. I should probably cook something in there too that I can take to work with me tomorrow. With any luck the rain will have stopped for the bike ride home, the ride to work wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I would call fun either. And hopefully the ride to work tomorrow will be less wet as well.
I can;t believe we are approaching the end of September already. If this iis any indication of how the rest of the year is going to go, then I should be living in Ottawa in no time! The big hope is to finish the course work, spend the month of May researching and then move into the big city to finish writing. I hope to have the paper finished in totality by the end of June, which may or may not be reasonable. It is only a fifty page paper and I should be able to tie my program studies into the Master's essay with little difficulty. SO I say now anyway. It would help a whole bunch if I had a concept more than something on New Religious Movements. Hopefully a little more reading next week that is not directly tied to course work will offer a little illumination.
Hmmm I think I need a Buffy fix..

Riding bike in the rain sucks. That was the worst part for me during our stint at Brookfield Road... I'd come in with a wet streak running down the center of my back to my ass. Soaking pants are NOT what you want... I have to WORK on that ass!
Erp, I'm rambling.
Got those files zipped, btw. Now, to email them.
