*sigh* I spent 2 hours editing this survey I'm developing for a community non-profit. I was almost finished with it. Unfortunately, I forgot to save it to my computer. Unless it is saved somewhere else on the computer (I've done a search) I'll have to redo it. Fabulous. I love redos. I'm already behind schedule on this project; I spent a week in 'bama and foolishly said we could meet early this week. Somehow, Thursday does not strike me as early in the week. Not like we could meet today anyway, as all of the work I've done is gone. I thought about printing out a copy, but decided against it yesterday (to save trees).
I'm planning to leave tomorrow anyway to visit my folks; I haven't been back since Christmas. I could work on it there, but my parents have no internet in my house. Lovely. I guess i can try to frantically finish everything today and hope for a phone meeting early tomorrow.
Oh, and I need to find a dissertation topic like now. I don't even care what it is; I'll end up hating it in the end anyway, no matter how much i like it in the beginning. Oops, I forgot about the book chapter revisions too...
Dang, this summer is crazy busy. It probably doesn't help that I've been gone 3 of the last 4 weekends, as well as all of last week. After this weekend, it will be 4 out of 5. I guess I'll try to do some work at home. This seems extremely unlikely, however. I need to find some place with free wi-fi in the area as well. Hopefully, free wi-fi does in fact exist somewhere near my parent's house.
I mentioned earlier this week in a facebook status update that I was trying to get ahead so I can go home this weekend. Hahahaha. Getting ahead - how idealistic. I need to move from really behind on stuff to slightly behind on work. Even moderately behind on my work seems acceptable now.
Must get back to redoing my work now...
Mundane details of my attempt to finish graduate school as well as other random things I think of when I am procrastinating
