has been busy...and stressful without having a good reason.
i haven't been sleeping well. i toss and turn and am alternately too hot and too cold. i am stuffy with the change in weather.
this means that i'm tired and nap-prone during the day.
i am gradually trying to get up earlier and be on a normal-person schedule as opposed to a college student schedule. this morning i got up at 9. this was an improvement.

mostly good news this week.
wednesday afternoon my advisor called and praised me up and down for about 10 minutes about the draft i sent her. she answered my questions and relieved some of my fears about how platable/unpalatable the paper is. she said i could go ahead and send it in. she said i should be very proud of the work i've done, the quality of the completed paper and that i should stay in touch. it was very nice.
so i took it to kinkos, made some bound copies and got them sent out this afternoon.

the germans have been in town and left. i had fun helping ross entertain them and meeting the new stagetech employee in the US. he is south african and was glad to talk about johannesburg.

i also heard back from a couple different jobs. one just wanted me to fill out their EOE form, but another kinda raved about my qualifications and wanted to make sure i knew it was a part-time job. which i did. i hope she doesn't decide that i'm over-qualified, because even though it is a part time position, it is one of the few project management positions that doesn't require experience in areas i don't have. it would be a really good challenge for me and an opportunity to learn things that i can't yet put on my resume. and i would be managing a food closet. i can feel completely good about that.

on the less happy side of things a friend wrote me this week and basically gave me a face full of shit for not calling her or getting together with her enough.....and while i HAVE neglected her, i'm also kinda pissed off. because i've neglected everyone including ross and my mother. i've been focused on my work. i feel like i am only just getting my social life back this week and the germans were in town. to add to that we are poor. i don't have a job and until i do, ross and i can't be blowing lots of money on going out. i feel like she doesn't call me back just as often as i don't call her back and it is frustrating to feel like that makes me the bad guy.

i am going back to game tonight. i have shelved sarnait for the time-being. i've been playing her for 3 years and i need a break. so i will be starting a new character tonight. a toreador. this should be fun.

She should be a Sem student who has the craft skill of: Thesis? :)

Actually Snaps isn't going to be in Mpls so much after the end of the month now that he's the Seneschal of La Crosse...

Me's gonna be playing a Tremere in the cities.

I know that a handful of the ventrue are/have been upset with their primogen not showing up. If they want to give you grief, send them my way and I shall smite them, yay verily and forsooth.

honestly they have plenty of reason to be irritated with me. i told them (via chris) what i was dealing with, but i still owe them an apology. this is a game we play together and when you (as your character) take on a position of power, others depend on you to be there....unless you are a gangrel.:)
which i also thought about, but my concept isn't as good.
i shiver in revulsion a little at the thought of playing a toreador. but i'm a little in love with my concept and she won't work in another clan.
are you bringing the same tremere back?

No, he died in an explosion sans chops... We were at Chris' house when it happened.

I also may be bringing back my FF Ventrue (but shhhhhh)....

Sunmother, you don't seem to be 'secretly' proud of her at all :)

As far as self-doubts on her thesis go? BAH! She is finished, and I know after I got my SIX thesis copies bound and sent off, I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo done...

Congratulations Mrs. HJA, we are ALL 'secretly' proud of you :)

I am so happy that you got so much (deserved) accolade from Beverly Mitchell! That is wonderful news and I really really really wish I could be there with you to drink a celebration martini like you make with the olives and the peppers. I am so glad she alayed your lurking self doubts that were inspired by others and I hope that you feel suitably proud of what you have accomplished.
I am secretly so so proud of you.

congrats and I know what the neglecting people thing is like. I do it all the time. When ever I really get into work. Right now between school and working at Whole Foods I am neglecting a whole lot. But what I am accomplishing is more important I think. Have fun at game and Happy Easter! And congrats on the paper stuff. I could never do a thesis. I am very pleased that my current Master program is only requiring an portfolio and my last only required comprehensive finals. I miss you.
