k. so (queso. heheh)
some updates: my written proposal isn't due until the 1st of May. That's a bit of a relief. I want it done by next friday and turned in to my committee so they can't piss and moan about not having enough time to read it. I also need to get it out of the way so I can work on my oral defense (no low-brow jokes. thanks). i have a few pages of text and about ten pounds worth of references (i thought i would measure the stack in inches, but i drop it all the time so it's easier to just estimate how much it weighs) that I hope to God i can remember something from while I'm writing and while I'm defending. I don't know how serious the committee is going to take this test as this is the first year we've done it all like this so I have nothing to compare to; that, and it's on my actual project and actual data. god, i just know they are going to rip it apart...
anyways, yeah, doing something inanely simple for the rest of my life sounds pretty good about right now

you want fries with that?
Concentrate on what you can do today. Tomorrow will take care of itself. :D Don't be so hard on yourself, Chad! You've gotten yourself this far on your own. Remember, you can't tackle everything in one go! (although it would be nice, wouldn't it?) I can't give you any help or advice or whatever... other than that. Don't think too much ahead, you'll just end up freaking yourself out. Just get what you can done today, then allow yourself rest.
As far as the "inanely simple" goes, you weren't satisfied then, remember? Also, its just this process that is the most stressful. After this (I mean after getting your degree), you'll still be happier than you were when you started grad school. :D
Unfortunately, I haven't been to grad school, so I have no idea what you're up against, other than its insanely stressful... :P Sorry. Just keep at it, it can't continue forever right? And don't quit life. I think you're pretty good at life... :D haha.
and when did you change your "about me" on facebook? haha.
at this point? now that i've seen what hard work and effort and being someone with potential have to offer (i.e. nothing), yeah i would be ok w/ a fast food job as long as it paid the rent (i would like to have fun outside of work, too so i'd want a job that would afford me that. which, btw, starbucks really didn't)
i think i changed my f/b stuff some time last week (?)
