Stress.

Classes are busy. Super stressed.

Now addicted to coffee. Non-voluntarily awake-ness late at night. Tired. Need more coffee. Vicious cycle.

Important revelation had. Grad school is like joining the military. Breaks your spirit and re-trains you how to think. Don't like the former of these. Similar to domesticating animals.

Trying to find a house to buy. Stressful. Two fell through already. Still looking. More stress with a touch of constant nervousness.

Teaching is good. Didn't get the fellowship I applied for. Sadness. Will be teaching next fall. Lame.

Leave for Turkey around June 20th. Very nice.

Figured out my tentative committee. This is good. Narrowed down possible dissertation topic. Also good.

Weather is improving. Definitely good.

Finally updated blog. Very good. Will write more later. Satisfactory.
