The Book of Legends... maybe?

So applied project, for better or worse, is submitted.

So is the final project for HRM.

All I have left is the final exam for work motivation and to revise a lit review for my assistantship supervisor.

Thursday is the last day of classes.

Friday I fly out to spend two weeks with my parents (ugh).

I plan to do as much writing as possible in those two weeks before coming back for my spring semester January 10th.

Hopefully, my last semester.

Wish me luck.

Grad School Things

So today I spent eight hours at the library digging through the library databases, finding and reading articles, writing on the walls (the library study rooms have white board walls, it's so awesome), and in general trying to cobble together something coherent for my applied project for Work Motivation.

November, by the way, was a shit month.

Early November, I fell down some stairs and sprained my ankle badly. It's still not fully healed. Spent almost two weeks after that basically in bed because I couldn't really walk around.

Then, just as I started to get mobile again, I developed an upper respiratory infection that took out basically the rest of the month.

My applied project, of which I have done very little until today, is due on Thursday.

WISH ME LUCK.

Grad school is kicking my ass, y'all. In a way, I love it, because I'm really enjoying all the learning and writing and the potential to actually have a career instead of a series of jobs. But it's also stressful and exhausting and at the end of the day I don't want to do anything except watch YouTube videos about the evolution of Disney World attractions.

I have not given up on The Savitar Chronicles. Never think that. I would never.

But it is going to take a while for me to get back to it, unfortunately. I'm going to try to write more over the holiday break when I go to visit my parents. We'll see how much writing they'll actually let me do, considering they haven't seen me in over a year.

The Book of Legends is almost always on the back burner of my mind in some way and sometimes it jumps to the front. I just don't have the time or energy to really devote to it. I really hope I can finish it over the break, because next semester is going to be even harsher. I'll not only be taking classes AND doing my research assistantship like this semester, but I'll ALSO have an internship, yaaaaaay. Then, you know, graduation (hopefully). There will definitely be no time or room for creative writing next semester. So I would really love to be able to start getting The Book of Legends out to y'all starting at the beginning of next year. That way, maybe I can write the last book over the summer while working at the fabulous new job I'm going to get after I graduate.

That's the plan, but we all know how I am with plans.
