Stick A Fork In Me


Mood: Happy
Song: The Buzz of the Fluorescent Fixture In My Office
Units of Caffeine: 2 (Yes. Amazing as it seems, it's a little after 4:00 in the afternoon and only two cups of coffee today. What's happening to me!?!?)
Days Until Graduation: 29
Days Until Thesis Is Due: 14

I've decided that I am done! Well... for today, anyway. I have spent the past four days diligently working on my thesis project; worrying about deadlines; dealing with an unfortunate death; and fighting with the people at Modern Language Association - My brain is properly fried and it is time for a break. So, I am giving myself tonight off from even thinking about the Renaissance period, Commedia dell'Arte or... you know what? Theatre in general. I am just completely on the verge of being burned out.

The good news is that two weeks from today, all of this will be done and over with; and one month from today, I will have my Master's degree. I also had my last weekly meeting with Froggy today, (since next Thursday is Thanksgiving; and the Thursday after that is the day in which a present my completed work to my committee.) The meeting made me feel very good about how things were going. Froggy wasn't too apathetic this week and assured me that I was doing good work. This came at a good time since I spend all freaking morning trying to figure out how to cite a few Medieval tunes. It's like trying to cite "Happy Birthday." An author? A year? Anyone you know who actually published the song? Actually, "Happy Birthday" is a pretty bad example since I read somewhere on the Mythbusters web site that someone actually holds the royalties to the song. (Man; talk about getting screwed out of a lot of money.) But, you get the gist. I actually ended up calling someone at the Modern Language Association of America about this. You know, as frustrating as this sounds, I was actually entertained by the thought of someone who's job it is to promote language. Who on earth would do that? Talk about your crappy jobs.

So, anyway... it's now 4:36 in the p.m. and I'm going to start doing nothing right now.

Let the nothing begin!!!
