Actually explaining my methodology instead of leaving it a bunch of pretty pictures with tables.  Yeah, but I mean, really, it&#8217;s all over tomorrow.  No more classes.  I&#8217;m not sure who I am anymore.  I gave up so much in the pursuit of this degree, and it&#8217;s now in sight, and I&#8217;m not feeling the warm and happy vibes.  Graduation isn&#8217;t going to do it.  I think spending time with friends and family will help.  <\/p>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s the thing I&#8217;ve missed most here.  The social angle.  Coming to MN early in the summer was probably a bad move for that.  If I&#8217;d come at the same time as everyone else, I think I would have bonded with them more.  *shrug*  Oh well, no do-overs on life. =)<\/p>\n<p>But I should take the time and effort to do the real happiness making things for me, rather than the easily obtained pleasures.  Real happiness making: extended chat time with friends, preferably more than one at the same time (any wonder why I like LJ?); reading good books, but new ones.  Stuff like that.  Not that I&#8217;m giving up on video games or anything, just keeping them more in their place. =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;midterm&#8221; tomorrow.
