Remind Me Why I Am In Graduate School?

School started last Tuesday, so it's been almost 2 weeks of classes. Let's just say when I said I liked being at work more than being in class, Like is not a strong enough word: Love and would rather die would probably be better. I have realized that I hate reading academic articles, and that's probably why my readings for tomorrow I read the abstract, introduction and conclusion to the articles, and read subject headings. Seriously. I'm unsure why it's gotten so much harder to read, although I guess looking back it's always been difficult for me to read academic/research based articles. Everything just tends to go over my head. I will be so glad when I am done with classes and no longer have to be in school. I really would rather be at work than class. It may not be the only place I want to be, but it's defiantly better than many of the places I currently have to be. I do have one "fun" class this semester. I'm taking a lit class on the portrayal of American Adolescence in American Literature. Let's just say having to read Little Women for class is the kind of reading that I like and enjoy doing. I'm super excited about this class and love that I have it two days a week so that I can enjoy it more than once a week.

Alright enough about classes. I really don't have much else to report. I got a hair cut today. It looks great, and the girl that cuts my hair is going to dye it for me for Halloween so my Alice look will be complete! Soooo excited about this. Not much else from me!

Currently Reading: Flashcards of My Life and Little Women
Currently Listening: Nothing, car cd player has officially died

  1. I always read your blog, but I realized after you commented that I haven't commented in ages. I liked hearing all about your summer, your work, and good luck with going back to school! I think your class where you get to read Little Women sounds fantastic. I know what you mean about reading academic articles - they always took so much brain power to get through that I often wondered if they were worth it. But at the same time even if I didn't understand tons I always felt kind of smug about the fact that I had read la-ti-da article. Well, you are amazing, remember that there will be an end to all this schooling, and have a great week!
