musings

too many options, or rather too many ideas. this semester finds me just as busy as before, despite a lessened course load. it was all deceptive, as each of my courses are equally demanding (but not demanding enough, thankfully). i also didn't think to factor in my recital, arranging options for France this fall, and now this scholarship opportunity. as much as i am eager to get out of school, i think i'll be ready to come back to it after a year-long break.

this rotary scholarship has me thinking about being abroad. i've been researching grad school programs. since i've spent too much time in France, i've shifted my focus to programs in Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. ironically, i want to find a way to somewhat regularily see D. there are english master programs in groningen- where he lives. wouldn't that be exciting?

i'm feeling nomadic again. my semester will fly by; it already feels like i don't have enough time to do things. soon, i will be in europe again. i've gotten confirmation from JF about a potential job. no promises as of yet, but i am first on the list.

school leaves me little options for free time at present. i tend to give myself breaks when i should be doing something specific. i need more leisure time than i am actually getting. for instance, right now i should be working on a lit review that is due tomorrow. i seem unfazed by the looming deadline. this is clearly not good.

can i put life on pause? i wish my class were at noon instead of 9:30. best get back to work.
