My apologies once again for being so late in having another blog entry. You can understand if I am a little preoccupied. I’m about a month and a day before I will be presenting my masters project to faculty and students. Yikes indeed. There’s really not that much else to say other than I’ve been working my butt off on this paper to make sure that I graduate in time, because if I don’t, that takes away my job. Talk about pressure. To compound that, the key actor interview process for this project is still crawling along at a snail’s pace. I have enough where I can be writing a draft of the final two sections of my paper (which is what I’ve been doing all weekend), but it certainly would have been easier if I had all of the interviews under my belt…or even knew when they would take place.
I did go out Saturday night for a while which was needed for my own sanity. A friend of mine was in town from New York so three of us went to dinner with her. As we left my apartment I realized it had been the first time I had left the building in 50 hours. I’m not exaggerating, just a lot of me staring at my computer, typing away. Anyway, we went to a restaurant called “Seven,” which is downtown and serves all kinds of sushi. I had never tried sushi until about a year ago, but this stuff was delicious. The restaurant was one of these very trendy places, with techno music in the background with that same bass beat every techno song has, combating your efforts to have a conversation. After dinner we went out for awhile (into the cold, as it was in the 20s when we left the restaurant). The next day I felt so much better that I had done something besides school for a bit. But now, it’s back to the grind.
Wish me luck as I write yet another draft. See you around the blog.
