Going home
Tomorrow is the start of my unofficial “spring break.” One thing about graduate school is that you don’t really get a spring break other than not having a week’s worth of classes; hardly a break. Plenty of reading is still waiting to get done and I’m not getting a paycheck from the State of Florida to travel home and spend time with my family and girlfriend. Don’t tell Jeb. This past week has easily been the most trying so far for a number of reasons. I love two-thirds of my classes and crave a workload, but I’m starting to get more than my feet wet in the graduate school game: the politics, professional relationships, and plenty of deep breaths. So my unofficial spring break couldn’t have come at a better time, and May 2007 won’t get here quick enough.
