Surprise, surprise. It's been two weeks or so since I last blogged. I could make excuses. B-mod midterm last week, stats midterm this week. Let's be real, blogging is sometimes less of a priority. But to continue with the updates:
Things are going well. I've been pretty busy but not in a bad way, not at all. I am enjoying everything, and (other than the midterms) it's not been too stressful. I've decided to do a research apprenticeship rather than a Master's thesis. It was a tough decision...having my Master's could give me an edge for internships, but once I have my doctorate, it won't matter at all. So, apprenticeship it is. Here's to hoping that things like my application and interview can make me stand out enough.
I tried Thai food for the first time ever. Who knew it was so delicious? Obviously not me, though to be fair there are NO Thai restaurants where I grew up. I pretty much loved it, and I think I prefer it to Chinese. If my parents are unable to come visit me and try some, I'll probably have to bring some home to them.
I've been running regularly. Hooray? I'm registered for a 5 mile race on Thanksgiving, so I'm working on making sure I can actually run, you know, 5 miles. This past Saturday I ran 6, so I think I'll be ok. I might even try to shorten my mile time, if I'm really motivated. Sometimes running seems like the only real escape I have--not that I need to escape all the time. I just don't have much else to do (nor do I know many people) outside the program. And I cannot always be concentrated on the program.
Today is one of those "blah" days. I'm just not in a very good mood, and I'm kind of crabby. I had my stats midterm today, and I felt like it went well...until I was looking over it later and realized I made a typo somewhere. I may have done the work right, but my numbers were wrong. Well, here's to hoping I get some pity points. I'm also supposed to be getting the results of my b-mod midterm today. I was planning on never opening them, at least not for a few weeks. But if today already sucks, maybe I should just open them today and get all the negative stuff out before the day ends. I guess it depends on if I get them tonight, and if I feel like opening them. I will be going to bingo again tonight, at a local pizza place. It's free to play, and you get awesome prizes like pizza. I'm sure they make tons of money from people buying drinks--it's a clever set-up, and I really like it. Who doesn't want to get out of their apartment once in a while? Or every Tuesday... I'll take it, especially since I'll be meeting up with my only friend that ISN'T in the school psych program. Plus, last week he won a certificate for free pizza, so guess who is getting free pizza tonight? That's right, me. It has to make today a TINY bit better, doesn't it?
