I can't decide if the recent trend of beautiful weekend days and then rainy, dreary week days is good or bad. We at least get to not be at work when it's sunny and 70 degrees, but cold and rainy doesn't motivate me either - I really just want to be curled up in bed.

This weekend was so beautiful! So beautiful, in fact, that I was motivated to write an entire 10-page paper before 4pm on Saturday, so I could still go outside and enjoy some of it. So, Saturday we headed off to Home Depot to buy a dogwood tree, some other assorted garden stuff, and a shed. The shed won't be installed for a few weeks, but we planted the dogwood in the front yard and put in some stepping stones from the driveway to the front door so maybe we won't kill all of the grass in front of the house. We still need to mow the lawn, but we're waiting for a free mower from my aunt.

This week is finally my last week of classes. It feels completely unreal. This weekend will be thesis-central while TJ is away visiting Nick up in Ithica and then that's it. I can't believe it's actually going to happen with all of this shit they've put me through.

I guess I shouldn't jinx myself now, though - who the hell knows what new torture they have waiting for me before I get to graduate next month...
