Gettin Ready

I'm soooo ready to see Dr. J; I'm depressed. I know that's weird, but I always hit a lull period before I see him when I feel like I just can't take the distance anymore. By tomorrow I should be all giddy and excited again.

I've been doing laundry like a mad woman--I can't believe (well yes I can) how I had let that pile of dirty clothes build up. It was truly a mountain. I'm on load #5 I believe. Ridiculous. But once I get that out of the way, I can start packing for the beach. I am going to start early so I can pack carefully--I don't want to go overboard with the luggage.

I also got a fun assignment from New School City today--I need to come up with a short bio and picture for the department website. That really was a good reminder that my new semester is coming soon and it is time to really get ready. I may take my new textbook to the beach as well. Nah, I probably won't. But definitely after the defense I will be getting everything in order for my fall classes and finalizing my special topics booklist for the spring!

I want to go to the beach, too! Have a great time reading non-academic stuff.

And I'm with you on the laundry. These days, it takes the back-of-the-drawer underwear and lack of favorite pants to force me to start the machine.

OH! I completely understand the depression before seeing the long-distance boyfriend, too. When I was dating someone far away, I always felt this way right before we saw each other. So glad you're about to see your wonderful Dr. J!
