Hi everyone,
This week has been a pretty low key week for me. I have a job now (YEAH), my thesis is with my advisor for revisions, my RA boss was in Boston for a conference and my classes haven't been stressful. That's all good, except for if you're a master of juggling, like myself - unless I have many, many things on my plate I barely know what to do with myself! I know, I know, stop complaining. And I'm not, it's just an adjustment. I figure it is similar to the adjustment I will have to make when I start working and coming home and I don't have to do homework or anything really. I've been using my extra time to work-out (always a good thing) and I picked up a couple of books to read for "fun". I love reading but during the semester I can usually barely find time to read what I'm supposed to, much less read something for fun. I know that next week will pick up though - a new project for my RA and my classes are beginning to pick up as well - they are both fairly project based, so I know I will feel overwhelmed as the semester draws to a close! One stress at the moment is money - you know, the bills from Christmas, buying a suit for my interview, etc. etc. My current solution: file my taxes! A great thing about being a student is that while you make close to nothing, you get most of the taxes you paid in BACK, which will hopefully bail me out! I'm really hoping for a miracle and thousands of dollars will come my way because I really could use a new computer in addition to paying some bills, but I really doubt any sort of Tax-Fairy exists! :) Luckily for me, my roommate's mom is an accountant and so we will be driving to visit her, and for the cost of a pizza for her lunch I will hopefully get the best possible return I can! Pretty exciting!
I think that is it for now. Have a great weekend!
