Alright Gradlife blog, don’t take it personal but I don’t have time for you. No really, I don’t. I have been stressing all week about what I am going to write about because well, I have a deadline, but to be extremely honest, this deadline is last on the list of other deadlines and I was hoping that maybe something in my social life would just pop-up that would be bloggable, but the truth is, I don’t have time for a social life either, so we’re back where we were before – I don’t have time for you (and I am becoming an incoherent writer of run-on sentences and non-words such as “bloggable”!)

I went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner on Wednesday. I was going to write about its history. Then I realized it’s a chain that just makes it seem like it has some cool historical stuff going on, when really it’s just an interesting set of mostly fake artifacts, that is full of young families and screaming children. Nope, not bloggable. (But their meals do include soup or salad, tea or coffee and ice cream).

Again, don’t take it personal that you are my least important deadline. I’m on March Break right now (I taught through Reading Week), and let me tell you – THIS HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST LIE OF A MARCH “BREAK” I HAVE EVER ENDURED IN MY ENTIRE SCHOOL LIFE! On this inaccurately named March “Break” I have completed 4 assignments, written 3/5 chapters of my Major Research Paper (2 more to go), applied to twenty jobs and nearly lost all sanity.

I am in some serious need of emotional endurance and there is no better place to go to meme-land to find some motivational blurbs that keep me going in the right direction. So I have provided some uplifting things to keep us all motivated while I drown in a pool of paper, methodology, findings, citations and general distaste for writing. Don’t worry Gradlife Blog, these negative feelings are temporary –it’s not you… it’s me.
