So last week I led discussion in my GEOG 870 (Contemporary Geographic Approaches), and then I wrote a rough draft for a research proposal for 810 (Methods in Geography). My outline and literature review for my 810 was pretty much savaged, so I made sure every step was done very very carefully, and I'm mostly happy with the result.
The upshot is that I spent all last week w0rking very hard, putting my 870 literature review (a rough draft, but still) on the back burner. That is due tomorrow, on Thursday. I also have 6 articles (these are scholarly articles, not the kind of think you find in the New Yorker) to read for the same class.
My brain is exhausted, and I've pretty much resigned that, for tomorrow, I'm going to suck, because I'm not at all prepared on any level.
Thank God for Thanksgiving holiday next weekend.
Of course, this is also my first Thanksgiving as a vegetarian. No idea how that'll go over.
I can has break plz?

dude.
what did you think this would be like, anyway? this is grad school, man. they expect both comprehensive understanding AND original thought.
the good news is, the brain is like a muscle; it responds to exercise. next term won't be so overwhelming, and your recovery time will be faster.
just don't skimp on protein, veggie-boy. you can't think properly without it. slam those beans and soy curd, family traditions notwithstanding.
The protein isn't the problem, it's iron. Taken care of with fish (because I'm a pretty loose vegetarian).
