I've gone through a major rearranging of my coursework for the semester, freeing up as much time as possible for my thesis, so unlike the first week and a half of the semester I am finding a lot more of free time. I just have to makes sure that I don't use the time to procrastinate, which I tend to do. I do think I'm impossible sometimes, because I go crazy by having no time and studying/working like a mad person and then when I finally have some free time, I tend to slump and think I need a push of more schedule.. Oh how fickle of me :P.
But with all that free-er time, I've managed to line up 4 internship interviews, and whether I get to spend my summer in some exotic (I consider Boston exotic, or any other big metropolitan area for that matter, after spending nearly 2 years in the cornfields.. heck I found Auckland refreshingly exotic too!) or just doing summer school here, I don't really mind and that gives me less pressure to ace the interviews which is win-win for me.
As for my thesis work, rather slow start but definitely a start so I'm happy with that. Better keep the momentum building though.
Other than the usual school-study-TA work stuff, I'm looking forward to seeing Cirque du Soleil show at the university's assembly hall, or going to NY to see my cousin and few friends from NZ, or both ;) maybe both... One thing I miss the most from having a job is that I had money and time to spend weeks on traveling, not like as a student where I have to squeeze in few days out of supposedly-a-break during which I should really be doing more school work..
Oh well, I will stop procrastinating and go do some work then.
