qontinuum !
miss hangin' with you, man.
unlike a lot of ya'll, my job actually celebrates halloween. and while it makes me smile, i am not feeling the spirit of things. still too locked into work mode. i worked from 7:20am to 10pm last night - a 15 hour day.
and i expect that today will not be a whole lot better even though i will put on a costume and carve my pumpkin and give treats to kids in the neighborhood. i just have SO much work to do for my midterm and this project that my group has held us up from finishing that i don't feel like i can truly rest! and i have another class starting tomorrow night.
i am really looking forward to next week when most of this school stuff will be done...really i'm looking forward to these classes and xmas being over and getting my life back. it is deeply sad to me that i feel too busy and stressed out to look forward to the advent season the way i want to. usually i even enjoy xmas shopping even though i find it stressful. it feels like doing too much is screwing up my priorities....and yet i also really want to finish my degree. it's just really hard that most of the joy is gone from that right now. i think i officially don't like this degree program + job at the same time thing.
i want to go home and go in the hot tub and knit (not in the hot tub) and relax with some nice mulled cider. i am thinking that i should probably make time to do at least a couple of those things to night just to de-stress a bit.
