date my last assignment is due: december 19th

Which basically means that I won't ever be stress-free until that day. This morning, I figured out that I'm going to have to spend at least six hours a day during October break working on my thesis and an upcoming seminar paper on civic humanism. I'm not complaining... it's great stuff and I love doing it. But the prospect of grinding through hours of work for the next two months is a bit daunting.

I am, however, leaving behind all work for the last three days of break. I hope to come back to it happy and refreshed.

I'm not quite sure why this entry was deemed blog-worthy, but here it is. If I have any more whiny posts the rest of the semester, please leave a comment telling me to suck it up and only post interesting things.
