this is not a test.

So lately, as I've been reflecting on grad school, I've come to a few conclusions:

1. I've never worked this hard on academics in my entire life. While I knew that grad school was going to be difficult, I thought it would be difficult because I would be working so much at my assistantship and practicum that school would take the backseat. Reverse that and you've got what my life has come to.

2. My social life has become the exception, not the rule. I used to go out all of the time as an undergrad... just to be social. These days it rarely happens. If I do go out it's to see a movie or maybe to get dinner. What happened to all of those fun crazy memories? They're just that... memories.

3. Put 1 and 2 together and you've got a recipe for "all work and no play makes daph a dull girl." This is true. I have been going a little stir crazy. But the great thing about living in GA is that in February, it can be 65 and sunny most days. And your windows can be open. And while this may make your internal clock think that it's spring and that school's almost over... it also makes being my dull self down here a little easier.
