The week ahead...the motivation I can't find...

I have my first exam on Thursday and I'm not findng it in me to study for it. I'm not really worried about this exam but I should make the effort to study. I should, I should..but I'm not, I'm not.

I also have a 3 page paper due on Wednesday on my motivations for joining and pursuing my field. Again, not so much worried about it. But...its just a matter of getting it done ya know?

Also lots of reading as always...I typically read about 600 pages a week, around 100 pages a class. Its a good thing I like reading or this would really suck. Its constant challenge to stay ahead. It will be worth it in the end.

Talked to my parents last night. They seem to be doing well. My brother was home from college for the weekend but I guess they didn't see him much because he was with his girlfriend for most of the time. Well, they had stuff going on too.

White Sox win the pennant and Chicago is going nuts. First time in 46 years, they've won the pennant and another chance to win the World Series which the Sox have not won since 1919. I'm sure there were many champagne hangovers this morning. I'm not a baseball fan but its kinda cool to be here while all this craziness is going down. Dad told me to stay home the night the Sox may win the World Series...doesn't want me to get all caught up in the riots and such that may happen...suppose he is harkening back to when the Red Sox won and some people were hurt in the after party. Where am I gonna go after 6pm anyways?? World Series kick off Saturday. Get your tickets...for 125-185 bucks!

Speaking of Sox fans, I'm sure we'll have a mob of them coming into the store looking for their gear. We had several come in since they won the Division looking for stuff. Sigh...crazy baseball fans!! ;0

So I should get off this thing, get a shower and get started on my day. I've put it off too long...

Later

Ugh, that's one thing I dread about future grad work is reading, because I am not motivated to read very often. Glad you're keeping up with it!
