For real, this time

So, my paper was finally accepted. I should be bouncing off the walls, but really the whole thing was kind of anticlimactic.

Now I'm spending most of my time trying to move forward with the project and figure out when the heck I might graduate.

That's kind of the story of my life, isn't it? Even when I accomplish something, I'm already thinking of the next thing I need to do. I guess it sort of makes sense in this situation, though, since I'd like to graduate as soon as possible and move on to Phase 3(?) of life. Or maybe this will be Phase 4.

Sometimes (okay, usually) I feel like I am living in every possible time of my life except for the present. Maybe I should learn to meditate or something.

Happy New Year

I got the best Christmas present ever, which was comments back from the reviewers. It looks like we just have to make a few revisions, and then the paper will be accepted!

There really should be some more exclamation points there, but at this point I am just kind of tired and impatient about the whole thing.

My brother got me Guitar Hero for Christmas, and now that's all I want to do. I made a band with me, J, and two of my friends from back home and it is AWESOME. I'm really impressed by the way you can change the characters' appearances and also the way they synched up the character movements to every single song. Well done, Guitar Hero people.

I'm a little concerned that I may physically hurt myself by playing too much. It's probably a good thing that I'm leaving for a conference tomorrow.

I am, however, determined to make it through that Peter Frampton song where he makes the guitar talk before I leave.
