Grad School

i stay busy. i really do. and we all know how much i love to sleep, so this whole busy thing is really kicking my ass.

classes are going well. i have 3 classes, 1 of which is an independent study. i enjoy that because i'm not down with sitting in class all damn day, so i only have 2 instances when i have to do that. and so far in both my classes, i have an A average. gotta keep that up. i'm pretty sure i'll get an A in independent studies... i just gotta get to reading all those supplemental materials dr. komlodi gives me. goodness, its a lot. it's work man.

so now the question is do i complete grad school with a masters, and start living my life... or do i continue through for 3 more years to get my phd. i was so gung-ho before about getting it, but then when i talked to my advisor and she actually started outlining my classes, and projecting the timelines, i was like ehhhh. i dunno. i want to, but i feel burnt out. i want to just live and not have to worry about readings and tests and shit. i want to chill. i've been in school for most of my natural born life (as all of us have, i'm sure) and i'm kinda tired of being the "over achiever." 2009 man. that's when i'll be done. i'll be old. and just getting out of school. and what the hell am i gonna do with a phd in information systems anyway? i could teach... i kinda always wanted to teach anyway. again, i dunno.

the longer i stay in school, the longer my loans are deferred. hmm. thats some incentive. if i can get someone to fund my phd path, then maybe i'll go thru with it. i dunno.

oh and i'm locking my hair now. i'm gonna start another blog to show the progress. its quite interesting. its been 2 weeks and its already startin to lock up. lol... nappy ass hair i guess.

oh and TIVO... the greatest thing ever. i got one now. its wonderful. i got the one that has a dvd burner on it so holla... i can make you a dvd of your tv shows. for a dollar of course :)

i dont really have much else to say... a lot is going on, but not anything i really wish to broadcast on a blog. i just wanted to mildly update the world on the superficial things in my life. unless you're one of my homies... if thats the case, inquire within.
