having a moment

dissertation diary #2: well... well. WEEELL. I should probably tell my significant other that I'm in another relationship and it's name is Dissertation. Ba dun tsss (I need more grad school friends). This thing is always going to be the unchecked to-do list item. I did get some renewed motivation and a potential new committee member for my team today. It came in the form of an elective class. I didn't mean to take this class but I needed one of those extra classes. And as luck (or I'd like to believe, a blessing) would have it, the professor is requiring a final project that happens to be along the same lines of my Methods chapter of my dissertation. What the what. Now THAT'S killing two birds with one stone. How lame is it, that this type of news, is making my day? Already planning my post-D vacation. I'm thinking another trip to the big apple. I'm seriously thinking of applying to internships there now that my CV is going to be a bit bulkier. *daydreaming*

In other news, I've tried to get a head start with school work. I actually bought the books! HISTORICAL ACADEMIC MOMENT. Usually I start looking through Amazon on week 5, so this a big deal. I've resorted to purchasing my books through my iPad. E-reading isn't so bad really . I read the entire Percy Jackson series with no issues (I even enjoyed the background music provided by the Pandora app). So, go me! I plan to be very dedicated to staying on top of things this semester. Ok, it probably doesn't help that I'm procrastinating by writing this post. Did I mention I already bought my books?
