Same Ol' Stuff
It seems like every third post or so I am apologizing for not posting more. Or for not having anything interesting to say. I doubt anyone wants to read about my typical day which seems to go: Get up, Work, Come home, Work Some More, Sleep. Lather, rinse, repeat. It seems like my entire life has been boiled down to one activity. Everything I do is now completely in support of The Thesis. And it's every bit as dull as it sounds.
I crawled out of the hole that is my office yesterday and saw some people for lunch yesterday that I had not seen in weeks/months. A professor that I might consider a friend (hard to say where that line is drawn between supervisor/colleague and friend sometimes) asked where I'd been. I looked at him dumbfounded when he gave me a hard time about spending too much time working. I mean, I get grief from all sides for still being in graduate school after 5 years, and he's asking me why I'm not getting out and having some fun?? It must be nice to be so smart that you actually can do it all. Do great work, have a fantastic family, take fun, exotic vacations.... I don't really wish for that much. If I could just get someone to come unpack my apartment and occasionally make me some dinner, that would be amazing. Let alone going "out" on the weekends or, heaven forbid, a date.
Speaking of the new apartment, I moved a few weeks ago! There are still boxes everywhere. I keep having to rip them open to look for something specific, but because this apartment is smaller than my old one, I don't have room to actually put everything somewhere. This new place is especially lacking in shelf space. So, a lot of stuff is going to have to just live in the boxes in my little storage room, I guess. I'll only be there for 6 months while I finish up school and then I'll leave for who knows where. Wherever I can find a job, I guess. But if I ever actually get unpacked and really moved in, perhaps I'll post some pictures of my newest abode. It will probably be sometime right before I have to pack up and move again. :)

I'd like to see pictures. :)
And I too think you deserve to get out every once in a while. We all need to eat!
