Halfway

Saturday marked the half-way point in my Master's program.  The last two weeks have been a bit brutal with way to many rolling deliverable deadlines at work plus, for school, one 2hr final, a group presentation, and two 6-page papers all due this weekend.

Honestly?  I totally phoned it in this block. (<-we call them blocks in this program as opposed to semesters or quarters).  I did none of the readings, sat in the back, and only spoke up enough to get the full 10% credit for class participation.  In spite of this approach, it was still a grueling grind to get to yesterday.

To charge my batteries, I shopped in the Italian market and bought some sausage, fresh pasta, and two kinds of chai, came home, borrowed the neighbor's dog for 20" of fur therapy, ran 3 loads of laundry, got caught up on 30 Rock and Parks & Rec, and fell asleep on the couch at 8:30pm reading a trashy novel.  Today, I slept in until 10am (10!  whoot!), did my exercise tape, cleaned out my closest and bureaus to switch over to summer clothes, cleaned the bedroom and the bathroom, and bought tons of starts from the local home store.

Now, I'm writing this insanely boring blog post and next I'm going to see if I can find the ukulele sheet music for the theme from Bob's Burgers.

Seriously?  My life is so unbelievably perfect right now.  /sigh
