GROOOOAAAAAAAAAAN!
It's warm and humid and rainy today and all I want to do is drink hot cocoa and stay at home with my kitties. :pouts:
I did not get a good night's rest last night, and I'm very tired today. My radiators started leaking again, so repair guys came in last night and didn't leave for hours.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tennis_bear jinxed me when he came over, too, by asking about the radiators. Maybe I'll blame this all on him
14 papers of 10 - 12 page length in one day. I can do it. Sure I can. Did I mention my boss is on holiday for two weeks and so I'm covering her position as well?
I am contemplating taking out a student loan and foregoing teaching next semester so I can have more time to dissertate. As it is, I'm taking a week off work in December to sit and focus. I've got two goals before February: to write up a literature review for submission to next year's annual social work education conference and put something substantial on paper (even if it's inchoate) regarding my theory. Once I do that, I can sit with one of the faculty members and see if it makes sense.
The other reason I'm debating taking out a loan is so I can go to a social work researchers conference. I put out a lot of money to attend the one in Portland (between hotel, airfare, conference fees, etc). This one is closer, but still will cost me at least $1k when all is said and done.
I found myself with a temporary momentum of excitement after the last conference. But when I got back, the pressures of teaching took over my time.
I just hate the idea of taking out another student loan. But I suppose this is what it's for, right? I can't drop work down to part-time and I haven't had a raise in a few years. Teaching used to be fun and extra money, now it's the extra money that pushes me over the edge to live within my means.
:whinge:
I WANNA STAY AT HOME AND PUT ON PJS AND DRINK HOT COCOA AND WRITE FANFIC, dammit!
