Pushing through

So at this point there are a little over 100 days left until I graduate from college, he says with great excitement and anticipation. However, I also feel this twinge of frustration that it's not getting here any faster. I mean, COME ON. Once this semester is over, Ray doesn't have to work in the language lab anymore and deal with those stresses, nor do I have to deal with the stresses of this semester.

What I can't stand right now is the total lack of progress that's going on in my life. Sure, I'm going to be finishing up some cell lines in the lab over the next few weeks (my progress is about one cell line per week--that should take me to November). But at the same time there's this thing looming over my head that says "other project". I still haven't heard about this other project that is supposedly coming for me, but whatever.

I'm also stifled by the inablity to get ahead in many of my classes, partially because of a lack of resources and partially because of a lack of instruction. Ugh.

This weekend was sort of mellow, with just work, some homework, and relaxation on the menu. Despite that, I have absolutely no break between now and Thanksgiving. Fortunately, with only 16 hours of classes to worry about, school is going to be less of an issue than everything else that's currently on my menu of things to do.

This week does mark the last of the beginning of semester jitters in the language lab. Conversely, I now have to deal with my class that I'm co-teaching.

Whatever.
