A Lullaby Haiku

Sing a lullaby
just before you close your eyes
and drift into dream

My Life as a Graduate Student

So, I am trying something different for this blog post because...well, because I want to. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful weekend I had at the beach and at the yacht club and I am so happy to have taken pictures to document our trip! I am not happy about the presentation, the 2 papers, and the test I have this week (along with my thesis revisions to work on).

 I am thankful that over the course of this entire summer I have had, in fact, 2 days of actual summer. Honestly, I didn't think I would even have that much. This summer has made me appreciate the times that I have to watch television, play with my dog, and sleep in. These days are few and far between and I like to cling to the memory of what summer used to be and the hope of what it will be, again, in the future. I never thought I would stop reading leisurely because the thought of reading for fun would make my head hurt. News flash: I no longer read leisurely because I read so much for school the idea of reading for fun makes me sick! I have developed an aversion to reading because I now associate it with negative feelings... what a shame! My hope is that I will overcome this aversion because I really do love to read. 

I am thankful for the friends I have made while in school because, honestly, if it weren't for them I don't think I could survive. They are my support system and we are all in this together. Our group isn't like the groups before us; we are not segregated and we are not competing with one another. We help and support each other. Graduate school is stressful alone without having to stress out over your "friends" who can't seem to take the idea that you are doing better. Who are these people? I am so thankful my cohort is a supportive one. I will miss them dearly when the time comes to leave. 

With that being said, I suppose I should start preparing for the presentation, 2 papers, and test I have this week...

A Sore Throat Haiku :-(

When you have no voice
you long to voice opinions
but only thoughts come.

oh how you are loved and loathed

An Icon is Gone...

We have lost an icon and feel the sorrow.

His name remains and his story, we follow.

I'll never let you part,

for you're always in my heart.

We have the promise of another tomorrow.

She is lost in thought,

meticulous with grammar

and her spirit's pure.

My Thoughts on Graduate School

Work all day and study all night,

all day long with all my might.

Do I stay?

Or do I go away?

Either way it is a fight.
