*briefly pokes head up*
Jan. 21st, 2009 02:33 pmAnd so, hopefully without jinxing myself by saying it, I'm hopeful the colossal shit of the last five or six weeks is wrapping up.
The new laptop is here, and works.
My lousy math course grade ended up not being as critical a FUBAR as feared.
Ph.D. funding possibilities are still out there.
Closing on our house sale, lousy as the deal is with respect to our equity, is eight days away, and our cash flow should then improve.
Mom's gone, but I'm dealing. I've got seven more free sessions with a counselor/therapist, and I intend to use them to full advantage, for that and other stresses.
Met with my advisor today, and we discussed the timeline for finishing my M.S. We both think I can do it this semester. I'd need to defend by April 20, which means I need the reading copy of my thesis done by April 6, which means my research and analysis should be mostly done by spring break (March 14), which leaves me about 7 weeks for that.
I'm hoping to be able to get out of town maybe the weekend of January 31, but after that, I'll be putting my head down again and charging forward to get this done.
