Fall is in the air, and I couldn't be happier :)
I was just thinking today that I am so grateful my thesis research is going on now, because any other season and I just might not make it through. It has been a rough go at it, but thankfully, the data collection should be over very soon.
State fair season is typically one that I look forward to every year. It's my time to help out with the cattle shows, something that I always enjoy doing. However, this year the state fair was tarnished for me with my data collection. Mind you, I do want to do a thesis, and I constantly need to remind myself of that, it was just such a drag :( It was and continues to be a lot of stress. I hate having to depend on other people, like the office lady's at the fair for a master list of exhibitors, and depending on others to get me a parking pass, and others to actually fill out the survey. I hate having to beg, it's just not in me; but for the past five days I have been putting on a happy face and begging people to take my survey. It is damn tiring. Yesterday I slept in, then fell asleep in the afternoon, and again last night.... oops. Thankfully, I have an understanding boyfriend who is keeping me sane through all of this.
Hopefully the next few weeks will bring a mini-vacation for the boyfriend and I, some down time, carving pumpkins and relaxing. Hopefully.... but as the life of a grad student goes, something will inevitably come up.
Is it sad that I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving?
