My week off is nice so far, could be better but it's nice. I am still trying to recover from last week and I even started a little painting. I just don't know why life feels like constant work since I'm an adult?! Hahah

quiet week on campus

Life lately: working @ office, philosophy seminars and readings, writing literature review for my dissertation, doing French h/w. I’ve also sent abstract of presentation for one conference in April and I need to send theses for another conference (due at the end of February). So a lot of work. But I feel better now as I try to do some diss work after my office work.

That's officially a wrap on my coursework portion of my PhD!! 4.0 across all semesters: fall, spring, and summer.

It was simultaneously one of the hardest and most rewarding two years of my life. The next three years will be full of independent study, coffee, pondering, walks in the woods, and candle-lit writing sessions. I can't wait!
