I guess it's about time for a new post, huh? Okay.
Truth be told, I've been awfully lazy the last couple of weeks. I'm kind of ready to get back to the grind. I have that wonderful I'm-going-to-do-things-right-this-time feeling that only a new semester/quarter of school can provide (and maybe having multiple children, but I wouldn't know for sure).
The first quarter wrapped up just fine. I kind of mailed in a few of my finals, but I got all A's (though "Everyone gets an A in grad school," says Lucas). I think the most important thing is that I figured out how I have to operate to keep from being constantly stressed and be only periodically stressed. (I can have Friday and Saturday evenings off, but only Saturday afternoons if I've gotten a lot accomplished already. Sunday is always a work day.) And I can't not exercise. I exercised a total of one time this past quarter (I got lost on my way to the UCLA gym...so yeah, that bad). That's something I have to make time for in the future--for vanity's sake, sure (I do live in LA), but primarily because I think I would be much less stressed if I did. And I have to make more time for keeping up with loved ones, too. I'm sorry to everyone whom I neglected the past four months. I promise to try to be better. Basically, I just need to be more efficient in general (says the girl who has unfinished assignments due in one week and is writing a blog post-- and speaking of...)
By the way, TWO of my professors gave us work to do over the holiday. Really? So maybe in the interest of doing things right/better I should wrap this up and get back to those. Yeah? Yeah.
PS-- Thanks to everyone who's been a faithful and/or occasional reader!
