I'm feeling sad because I just found out my uncle died Easter night. He was 80, had Parkinson's, and had been in pretty bad shape for quite awhile. Still, it is sad news. Sigh.
School is back in session and I am already feeling burned out. I am so busy over the next three weeks that every day is packed. I am also not really looking forward to jumping right into summer school. Plus, I have some stuff to work out with my adviser about my program. She presented things a certain way before I changed majors and I hope she will uphold that. I am becoming concerned about time/money and whether I have made the right decision.
Meanwhile, the short spring break was great. I had an amazing but chilly, damp hike with a friend. We got lost and that led to a sort of mini-adventure. I also picked up some dog-sitting work and started looking into a volunteer job with horses. And, amazingly, I read a couple good books for fun and did some writing of my own. I started a third attempt at a horror-suspense novel I've had clanking around in my mind for the last few years. I had to put all the pages away in a folder when school started last week, however. I just don't have that kind of creative space with all these paper and project deadlines.
Hubby and I are catching a concert with a friend later tonight. To be honest, I should be home working on a paper. But I figure I should have a little fun before I totally give in to the stress.
