I am drowning in thesis!! I think I'll be alright, but man oh man. We have Labor Day Weekend (yes, it's different) this weekend, so I get a three day, paid weekend to finish this dreadful thing. Then, I focus all my time on my 10 hours of work a day. Oh, and it is officially a day less than month until I leave for the States and a month until I get to the States. So. Much. To. Do. I apologize for the drought of normal posts. Drowning in papers, I tell you.
Hello, you pretty light at the end of the tunnel. Focus on light, not tunnel, focus on light, not tunnel. Whew.

I Rule
And am humble. Promise.
I was sick, sick, sick this weekend. My sinuses hurt so bad I had to take headache stuff as well as cold stuff. I slept all weekend. Almost literally. I did work on my thesis (because I'm hardcore) and also I went to a play on Sunday because I had already paid for the tickets and was feeling a bit better, but mostly I slept. I slept more than a cat. But, I have conquered the illness. I only have a bit of a sore throat today, which I think is remarkable.
As I still have work to do on my thesis (though there are less than 30 pages left!!), I have work still, and on Wednesday, I start proctoring exams again. Such the schedule!!
Also, I will be back on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again, in just over a month now. So much to do!

Counting My Eggs...
I am so excited to have a real life. I know it sounds silly because everyone loves college, but I am so excited to have a real job, a real income, a real apartment... everything. Life is sweet. But, I found this website for getting puppies from the humane society; you can find them for any city, but you can look at pictures of animals you can adopt!! So excited!
Now, that will be months away, but still. Not too many months away! I've also spent most of my free time at work today looking at apartments and trying to learn about Tucson (yes, I'm a nerd).
It's sad to be leaving NZ, especially when it's actually getting hot today! But I am excited to be done being a temporary person, a student, and poor. :) Woohoo, real life.

Funny Feeling
I get these E.S.P. feelings sometimes. I would call it Impending Doom, but it isn't always bad. So if you are someone I know and something big is happening to you, let me know! I don't like this mild tummy ache!
And just to be on the safe side, be careful everyone. :) Thanks and good day.

Spring Snow
It snowed this morning. I took a picture, so I'll put it up later, but it snowed. Did we beat the American first snow? Because, remember, it's almost summer here. It has been the craziest weather ever here today. When I woke up, it was so sunny that it hurt my eyes to look outside. A half hour later, it was pouring. Then five minutes later, there was snow so big that I actually doubted that it was real. It's been alternating between rain and sun, all with gusty winds. It's days like this I wish I had a car.
