Fuck school.

I just finished my last final, and I can say, with certainty, that this has been the most frustrating semester I've had since undergrad. It's hard to pin-point exactly why. I've been going nonstop since January, but even with that, I'm not sure if that's the exact cause. Pursuing a doctorate is a different kind of grind, that's for damn sure.

Either way, this break is right on time. Hopefully, I can come back rejuvenated.

Go, #Draymond.

One more test awaits.

After that, vacation on deck.

Homage will be paid soon as well. It's a must.

Now Writing - A Term Paper
Now Watching - Knicks v. Nets on ESPN

*looks above* Talk about multi-tasking.

Between a wedding last weekend, kids at the school needing to be taken care of, and making sure my own damn schoolwork is taken care of, a vacation is badly needed.

This is the first semester of my doctoral program that I've felt tired. Before now, it's been gravy. I hope this isn't a sign. It all comes to an end on Friday, and when it does, fun will be had.

Now Watching - Knicks/Heat on TNT

I missed 26 yesterday. Between work and staying at the school late to watch the kiddos play, it totally slipped my mind to post.

There's not much deep, profound or random going on right now. Today was another day The Lord blessed me to see, and here's hoping the next one brings the opportunity for greatness to commence.

Either this quote is one of the most profound gems I've ever heard, or I need some sleep.

Now Playing - Smooth Sailing

It's 8:23 P.M., and after this is wrapped up, I'm going to bed. Last night was a long one, and trying to repeat that wouldn't be wise, especially with work being on the horizon in the morning.

Between 29 and 28, some valuable interaction was had; some unexpected, some the norm, but all pleasant. That makes me smile. Plus, the Cows won. Life is good.

Smooth Sailing...yes indeed.

Now Playing - Tears On My Tuxedo.
Now Eating - Oreos.
Now Drinking - Milk.

29 days left in 2012.

How much is it worth to go outside of your regular persona to keep interaction from becoming boring? Better yet, if it even has to be asked, isn't that enough of an answer?

While one should be open to ways to keep things fresh and exciting, can it be done while keeping certain aspects of yourself unchanged? Or, even worse, conjuring up things or embellishing to keep things fresh? Well, that's not really an option.

Is this merely an example of having too much time on one's hands and, subsequently, too much time to think?

Now playing - I'm Going Down
Now reading - Inside Inside

30 days left in 2012. Where did all the time go?

It feels like the year just started, yet it's literally about to end...and when it does, I'll be right here, ready to do it all over again.
