update on my life


Not all that much is going on. I did just finish the rough draft of my thesis (except for my conclusion, which I'm going to do after re-reading the whole thing). It's long (85+ pgs). Trying to edit is torture, because it is just so long and I've worked on it forever. I'm sick of the sight of it. I keep tellign myself to keep working, but it sucks.

Rather than working, I have been going shopping with my mom, not that I have any money (just a little bit of credit..). She's been kinda dropping hints about getting a job, but my thesis is like my albatross. I don't really want ot do anything until it's signed off, and honestly, I feel exhausted from the whole experience. I don't think she gets it. I've also been going to the beach at least once a week with my youngest brother and been honing my x-box skills. I have come to realize and accept that I am going to have to try to temp for several months before even looking for a proper job. Not that there seems to be much of any of the type of jobs that I want to do in San Diego. Even lots of editing and writing jobs here want you to have a science background because the companies do biotech and medical research. So I kinda feel like a loser.

On the good side, the weather is perfect, the skies are almost invariably blue and the food is excellent. Living in Canada I almost forgot how important those things are. Just kidding, I thought about it all the time. But I still kinda feel like a loser.
