I guess that would be cool, but this semester is kicking my booty with homework and general busyness. However, I will have a master's degree in 12 weeks. I can do that.
I got in 4 days of lake-gazing running this week in the slush and snow and my hip held up like champ. It was low mileage, nothing more than 4.5 miles at a time. Still, an improvement.
It has decided to turn into the best winter in a few years in Minnesota. We've been skiing and getting out in the snow as much as possible. Side note: you cannot look at the camera for a picture if you are wearing a headlamp and the photographer is also wearing a headlamp. I think that's where the term "double-blind" comes from?
Other recent activities: making Lucy pose for artsy-shadow-snow pictures.
Super bowl
And using my tiny dog to scare big dogs under tables.
Hope all my northeastern friends are hunkered down to weather the storm.
See you next time I come up for a breath of non-school air!
What are your weekend plans??
I want a PhD for the soul-purpose of having an Indiana Jones moment with my dad - "Dr. Jones?" And they both turn around and say, "yes."
ReplyDelete:) you should probably do that then!
DeleteHang in there my girl! It is hard work, but SO worth it!
ReplyDeleteWe are snowed in today - everything is cancelled..it was insaaaaaaaaane. phew!
Hope you have a lovely weekend! I just went out for some dinner and red wine drinks with a friend tonight. I don't drink red wine - oh boy, right to my head. haha!
Hope you've been able to dig out by now! And hope your head has recovered too :)
DeleteI have nothing to say to stop you from getting a PhD because I want to get one one day too :P
ReplyDeleteIt finally stopped snowing in Toronto but everything was cancelled yesterday :) Yay for work from home day :D
Yay work from home! I am crossing my fingers for a day of everything canceled tomorrow, but they will probably be able to dig us out by then, dang.
DeleteIf I was to go into the PhD program - it would be back in the field of geography, not education. After my M.Ed. is finished I never want to see edu grad school again. But perhaps that it is just the university I am in...ahh
ReplyDeleteI will call you Dr. Geography if you do it :)
DeleteEWW I hate the snow!!! I hope you're enjoying it!! Man I don't know if I would ever have the patience to get my PhD!
ReplyDeleteexactly, I am very impatient!
DeleteGlad you are getting out and enjoying all that snow. I rather like running in it. I wish I lived closer to cross country skiing,I have always wanted to do more of that.
ReplyDeleteSnow does add a little adventure to runs for sure.
DeleteHang in the 12 weeks isn't so bad! You'll be so happy when you are finished!
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes I will be SO happy :)
DeleteThat picture of the lake is so pretty. Glad to hear you're having a great winter! I was actually in the path of that storm in the northeast and still digging out now!
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to dig out!
DeleteStill laughing about the double blind study you guys did. So happy your hip is hanging in there. Is that a real picture at the top or just something you posted to make everyone on the planet jealous? So gorgeous that it looks fake.
ReplyDeleteI am working on my PhD, and although I'm sure it will be rewarding in the end, I have learned it truely isn't for everyone. You have to want it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of your masters degree -- you are so close!
