This week is another super busy week thanks to 207 starting. I have to remember I don't have my weekend to relax like normal. There's just something fundamentally wrong with having class from 9-12 Sat and Sun. Not to mention 3 hours a day for 9 days straight.
Midterm is on Wednesday, paper due on Thursday, a debate to prepare for tomorrow (I already wrote that class's paper, phew!), lots of reading for 207, and a memo due on Sat for 207. Next Wednesday I have a presentation and we have to start writing our GP proposal this week and next since it's due the 18th in draft. So that means more research and reading for 401. I also have to research my econ paper and prepare for that presentation too. It'll feel nice once 207 is finished because I'll only have 1 class a day pretty much. I'll also be down to 12 units worth of classes (not including the 207 final, but that's the 4th of June). I'm into the final stretch of my first year of grad school!
I still haven't heard about an internship. I'm coming back home in 5-6 weeks. I'm not sure what day because a) housing is saying I can't cancel my contract till the 14th (stupid!) and b) we have to meet with our advisory committee on our proposal and our proposal is due to them on the 1st of June. It's unlikely they can read, critique, and do their teaching load all before the 4th. So I'm hoping we can fit in the meeting in on the 7th (Mon) and then come home after that. But...we'll see. I'm hoping I hear from TNC this week. It has been 2 weeks since last Friday that I heard that they were checking budgets. If I don't hear from anyone at the end of this week, I'll e-mail again and see what's up with any other group (I'll hear from the TNC when I hear from them).
My foot is better. It's still a little bruised, but it seems to have gotten better over the weekend (didn't walk on it much). The bruising seems to come and go depending on how much I walk and how I walk. I still have pain in the toe and my whole foot in general (seems when I stubbed my toe, I threw my whole foot out of alignment so other toes and parts of my foot hurt at different times), but the pain varies. It hurts more than normal today because I walked on it, but at least it's getting better.
Oh yeah. I saw How to Train Your Dragon over the weekend in 3D. I REALLY liked it. It's a movie buy. The film is a nice family film that the kids would like and won't bore the parents to tears. There is action, humor, and a lot of heart. The animation is also really good. The primary dragon is so cute too! He's like a puppy in ways. It's hard not to get attached to the characters. Dreamworks is definitely keeping to its great animation and films in general. I still enjoy the Ice Age series and of course there is also Shrek. Depending on how Toy Story 3 goes, How to Train Your Dragon might just be my animation film of the year. :) Course, it's still early in the year. :P
With that...time to get back to the homework and rotate my laundry.
