vivienI'm not dead - just trying to balance my new working life with my old, coddled working life. Job is going fine, if there are long, long days in which the clock barely moves. Now that I have email, I feel a little better. I have a link to the outside world. I get home a full hour past my old getting home time, and that hour really makes a big difference. I am still having some exhaustion, but I can function till ten o'clock before collapsing, at least. And considering I was staying up consistently till 11:30, that adds up to two and a half hours less of life to live. Wow. That sounds really dire when you type it out. Boo.
In any case, I am adjusting. I have a routine now, and I am finding myself having moments in which I can write things like this and email them to myself to post later.
Lo, though I have been sorely tempted by the shiny fast internet connection on the computer that I stare at all day, I have not used it for the forces of evil or LJ. I'm pretty damn impressed with myself, let me tell you.
So in fandom news, I've had the DVD's for the next utena series... that had to go back to the library unwatched. Woe. I'm trying again this weekend.
I've also discovered an advantage of the one hour lunch break - I have time after eating and taking a nice walk to read for a bit. I've been reading the rest of the Narnia series, as they are quick and pleasant reads (except for The Last Battle when everyone and their talking dog gets to go Narnia heaven except for poor Susan.) I hadn't known that about her as I hadn't gotten past the first book in the series. I asked my mom why I hadn't kept reading as a kid and she said I complained about the ending of LWW, saying it was not a good ending since the kids had to leave Narnia and go back to being kids instead of kings and queens - that and she foisted The Hobbit on me right after and I guess I got distracted. I find this funny considering how I'm playing Susan at Mways.
Anyway, I am about ready to hit a really busy, really unpleasant patch of grad school and work life right after my birthday weekend. I will likely not be around much at all for anything the first two weeks of June. But once those two weeks are over, I will have just one class left (I'm taking a compressed weekend class for three weekends). Then I will be done with grad school and I will own my evenings, smaller though they are, once again.
