(heh. briefs.)

**Classes are interesting and good. I am happy with my choices and wonder where they'll lead me. Reading, pondering, and discussing are becoming more and more a part of my life.

**Application process is also going well. Done: requested transcripts and GRE scores, gave packages to recommenders. Need to do: polish writing samples and statements, finish online app process and start assembling envelopes for non-online apps.

**[livejournal.com profile] mr_lent and I had a really good afternoon together. It wasn't "as if we picked up where we left off", but rather that the intervening years became like a beautiful thing to share, rather than distance.

**What is not so good is my time management capability. I want to warn everyone now that I'm getting a little flakier than usual, and have not been able to give the friendships around me the love they deserve. I'll do my best to balance "keeping sane" with "not going into hiding", but there may be a little more oscillation between the two points than would be preferable.

**In the next room, [livejournal.com profile] sen_no_ongaku is playing Smoke on the Water using Guitar Hero. This? Is awesome.

I love Guitar Hero. I'm waiting for [livejournal.com profile] wickedrad79 to buy it (or, barring that, to buy it for her for Christmas - coordinating with her family, of course, to make sure that I don't buy an un-needed copy!)

Dude, I can't believe you got Guitar Hero the year that I won't be coming up for Christmas or Spring Break.

Frienship is important, but so is your education, and your sanity. I think we will understand if you have to pull away a bit.

I also found myself living under a giant rock during grad school. When I crawled out from under that rock, all my friends were still with me. I think your friends will understand.

If you are desirable of commiseration as regards the balancing act, let me know. ;-) I am alllll over that sh*t.

By which I mean it's kicking my ass.

Guitar Hero proved instrumental (ha ha!) in convincing S to get a PS2. Also, GHII is due out really soon (early november, I think).

I am glad to hear that life is good and interesting lately.

I, too, am having difficulty with time management. A wise professor at my undergraduate college told me to make a schedule with all the days of the week in it. Schedule: 1) time for sleep 2) time for eating, bathing, and other necessities 3) your classes 4) something active that reduces stress. Then look at the time you have left and add in: 6) time with friends/family and 7) study/work time. The goal is a balanced life that you will enjoy without running yourself down or hiding out. It helps!
