Aug. 7th, 2013 01:41 pmWriting a master's dissertation is too stressful, can't I do something nice and restful like taking the One Ring to Mordor instead? That sounds like a nice vacation. Lots of walking. Gorgeous scenery. Very attractive men for at least part of the journey.
Sadly I am not doing enough writing right now. Or enough research. Which at least my supervisor and I both know and why I begged him (well: asked) to have weekly meetings now that he's back from holiday so that I'd have some accountability. Which means I actually have to do things other than just read every week.
Of course I'm obviously worrying that I might be stressed, but I'm not stressed enough, because sure, that makes sense. ("Just don't be stressed!" my mother says. "Just take it easy! Just stop being depressed!" "MOM IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.")
...and I've just remembered that I'm still super stressed out about never actually hearing back from Tulane after being waitlisted. Is it worth it to e-mail them and say, "Hey, I realize that you start in two week, I just never actually got a response so can you just tell me, 'No, you didn't get in,' and also, is the reason for that because my MA program is still going on?"
God, I'm so stressed I think I'm going to explode. Why is it that the only time I ever meet people when my stress level is at +1000? Like, I feel terrible about it, because I'm going to be freaking out about all the work I probably wouldn't be doing anyway, but I am yet more stressed, and also I couldn't get the train ticket I want so I'm going to be in Cambridge two hours later than I actually wanted to be because of off-peak times. *headdesk* *cries* (Don't take this the wrong way,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
highlyeccentric, I'm just obsessing about things I can't actually do anything about.)
Okay, I've picked up my train tickets, I need to go print off half-a-dozen articles to read tomorrow on the train.
