one month progress report

school started a few days over a month ago. it turns out getting your doctorate is hard. the only things i do anymore are go to class, study, go to work (and study there), and if there's any time left over in the day, do more studying. my stuff finally arrived from california and i haven't had time to unpack it all because i can't take the time away from studying (like i'm doing now to post this). i just got internet in my apartment yesterday so i don't have to go to campus on the weekends and i hooked up my wireless printer today (i love, love, love wireless technology!!!). i didn't get cable for the tv - don't have time to watch it! although i will say i indulged and watched the first episodes of the new season of the office online early this morning. oh, so funny.

so that's about it. i'm making friends but don't have time to hang out with them outside of school. they're going through the program with me though so they don't have time to hang out either. at least four of us have already had mental breakdowns over the lack of adequate time in the week to get everything done that is expected of us. rally's fine; she's been getting cuddly as the weather is getting colder. i'm going to have to get a real winter coat soon and a good pair of boots. can't i just wear my snuggie?
