The mandatory week off last week went relatively well. I finished all but just one-half of the last fucking interview, which I intend to finish tonight.
I'm determined to work no less than one hour per day on this sucker for the indefinite future. Seven hours per week is better than what I achieved last semester, so we'll see.
It's going to be a late night, though, seeing it's 9:30 PM and I'm just getting started. This is typical, though, after a late dinner and Moose's bedtime routine. Oh well: sleep is an under-rated waste of time anyhow. :-) Glad I have a glass of fruit-of-the-vine in hand.
It's not really a new year's resolution, but I'm seriously considering pursuing better living through drugs. Not illegal ones, silly. Rather, the "get rid of the dissertation blues" kind. Or, as my buddy Jason puts it so well: happy pills. I'm generally not a big fan of using stuff that alters my body (beyond caffeine and alcohol in moderate amounts), but I figure these may be worth a shot at this point. I'm discussing all this with Jason on Friday and Gibsyn via e-mail when I can, and I'm certain both will offer good insights in their own ways.
Off to finish the last blasted interview.

When I was sprinting through 2008 and about to lose my marbles, I went to the IU HC in search of something blue or red that would lend me temporary focus. They denied me! Here's hoping you have better luck.
onward.
Chad - thanks man. I wasn't aware you were about to lose any marbles that year, and I'm sorry to hear it. You wore that phase quite well!
take it all in stages. You are wise thus far. Keep going!
