Pity Party

I am sorry that I have not posted. I have not really been working on my diss. I just feel so bad about it! I feel bad, baaaad about it.

But the time is ticking away. If I don't file it soon, I'll not be able to take the post doc. Which means having no money. I don't think academias' all that great, and my diss is a diss-aster, and I don't want to teach, etc.. But I need money. I need to buy some pants, by God. And some burritos.

So I have to work on it. And therefore, I have to post. Post till its done! Yay!

JM said working on her diss is like having her own private Iraq. Which is kind of how I have felt lately. Not to blow things out of proportion too much.

Shenanigans! You like teaching! Do not think of all the things you don't like about it. I declare that to be THE problem! And I am always right, so there.

Your muskrat has problems, sure, but what fuzzy woodland creature doesn't? You're spending so much time dwelling on its mismatched fur that you're forgetting its cute little nose and it friendly cooing which you so adore.

Accentuate the positive!

Don't think of it as Iraq. Think of it as Post-War Germany under the Marshall Plan. Success!
