Busy as a bzzzz bee

Since my last posting, I've been managing to keep myself busy and productive. Maybe my depression has finally lifted. Research is rolling along. Prep for teaching is getting done (hope to be basically ready for first day of class by the end of Thursday). RA work getting done. Apartment getting cleaned (with the enormous help of hubby).

Things that I need to continue to work on: Getting up on time in the morning. Completing personal tasks in a more timely manner (i.e., laundry, bills, etc). Getting schoolwork done and staying on top of school-related matters (I've been making an effort at the latter, but I really need to put in more effort).

Both of my RAs are getting on my nerves. The one has always been somewhat lax and requiring direction from me to stay on task (which I'm not the greatest at doing), so I don't think anything has changed with her, as much as I'm getting tired of dealing with her. The other has suddenly decided to become my task master, which I deeply resent. I've noticed this since she got her recommendation letters from my advisor and me. I haven't quite figured out whether this feeling stems from my own issues (e.g., jealousy, defensiveness). Meanwhile, I find myself hoping that they both end up going to other places than my school for graduate study. It makes me feel like an evil monster.

OK, I think my hair is dry enough to go to bed now. Good night!
