Well, looks like I have gone and done it again. I’ve neglected my blog. Not surprising. I don’t always have much to say and lately I’ve been leaving the house and getting back 12 hours or more later.
I can’t say that I am super stressed out, but I am definitely busy. I think things are going well for the most part, I just hope I can keep things in order and continue to be productive. I know one thing that I have been slacking on is my reading. I definitely need to spend some time this weekend getting caught up.
While things have been going fine for now, I admit that I have have become more freaked out thinking about the coming semesters. I see my classmates talking about their capstones and the readings and critiques they have to write on Twitter and I sort of start to freak out. I think I need to stop and remind myself to focus on the now and realize that I will have plenty of time to do everything, that I won’t be taking all of those classes at once, but my brain gets ahead of me and wants to be done already!
In a way going part-time is nice because I can give myself the time to work through things and not stress out with everything at once, but on the other hand it also causes me to get impatient and feel like things are dragging on forever.
In addition to school work, there is work work, which has become more steady now that classes are in session and everything is in full swing. Luckily I have some great colleagues who understand that I am out of the office for class and understand if I am emailing them back about things at 9 p.m.
Also, my sister and brother-in-law have opened a new ice cream store, so I have been trying to help them as much as I can. My main role now is to be their social media maven. So far they are only on Twitter, but I have started to build a small following. Check it out — http://twitter.com/Hartzells.
While this week has been crazy, I do have some super exciting things to look forward to this next weekend/week – Drew Hastings at the Funny Bone on Friday, Ben Folds at the IU Auditorium on Sunday, and ROBIN WILLIAMS! at the Auditorium on Wednesday!!!

You get to see Robin Williams! OMG so jealous! I want to go but he is at the Kennedy Center and the tickets are uber pricey.
OMG I didn’t know you were related to the ice cream people! I’m so excited that they’re open, although I haven’t had a chance to try it yet.
As a fellow part-time grad schooler, I totally understand… I’m so jealous of everyone else that can completely devote their time to school, but at the same time if I were one of them I would be screwed when it comes to things like health insurance! I can only afford one class at a time and was hoping to up it to two, but unless I can scrounge up some scholarships I’m still on a VERY long term master’s plan!
