dchenesI believe we have a winner in the Let's Make Up Our Minds, Shall We? category:
So far I've heard four different deadline dates for filing the "intend to graduate in May" forms. Two different dates in late January, one in early January and, as of this morning, next Monday. So I went to the graduate studies office to try to figure out what the hell the deal was, and they were closed. Apparently today is holiday luncheon day or something. So I have to go back at 1:30 and see if they're there again yet. [EDIT: They were. The deadline is January 21; I think the "December 21" in the memo this morning was a typo. But I filled out the form anyway, so now I don't have to deal with it at all.]
So far today I've dropped off the SciTechMed final and gone grocery shopping. Now I have a whole list of domestic stuff to do in the next two days. A fair bit of it might have to wait until tomorrow, though. Even though I knew it was a bad idea, I got into the Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream last night after I was done with the exams. Therefore, I was up until 3:00 this morning.
The sun is out today, and while I'm all in favor of that, it's very bright out because the sun is reflecting off the snow. My first coherent thought this morning was "turn it down, willya?"
It had better be time to do something productive, because otherwise it's going to be naptime, and my entire afternoon will be shot to hell.
