the sun'll come out tomorrow, i hope

i am depressed today. this week is just wearing on me. plus it's winter, plus today it was drizzling and generally gray. all of which combine to just make me sad. i need a good way to just relax and let some of this stress drip away. i want to run, but i think if i go in the rain, i will just be even more miserable. i haven't even been hungry today. ugh. i would say i'm looking forward to the weekend, except i'm going to have to spend it studying because i have a midterm, homework assignment, or presentation every single day next week. so i guess i am looking forward to the weekend after this. well, at least the end (even if a temporary one) is in sight.

if anyone has any good suggestions for how to take a half hour relaxation break or something, please, by all means, tell me.

apparently there are a couple people at georgia tech who recently found out via jen that i am moving to houston to work, and were surprised. i guess they had me pegged as a straight-to-ph.d. person. not so weird. i had myself pegged as that person. funny how things change. now i just don't know what i want, but i know i want a break from what i'm doing now. the advantage of a non-thesis master's is that i finish in a year...and i didn't think there was a disadvantage. however, i have found one.

the disadvantage is that a non-thesis master's program is really no different from undergrad. i still go to five classes, i still have homework, i still have midterms and finals. basically, i still feel like an undergrad. five years of undergrad was ok...six years is just too much. honestly. heh.
