Mental Slump


I'm not sure if it's the extremely cold weather, or the break in my internship schedule, but I am having a very hard time staying focused and on task. I still need to find an elementary school to do an internship at, but am not having luck as there aren't that many possible sites and there are a lot of us looking for them. So I have three days a week that are now open. I should be using that time to finish the research for my final masters paper, and should be starting to write it soon, but I am not motivated. Maybe next week will be better for me.

Due to the cold weather, I am also having a problem with my kitchen sink, as the pipes are frozen. I've had a space heater on them for the last 24 hours, but they are still not warm enough for the water to begin flowing. At least the pipes in the rest of the house are still working - I just hope I won't have to do the dishes in the bathtub!

That just seems kind of gross to do your dishes in the bathtub...is that just me? It's like the Seinfeld episode--let us hope it does not come to that- Use paper or haul them over to my house!

I think it would be grosser to haul dirty dishes to someones house than to wash them in the bathtub, but hey, that's just me.

I totally relate to being unmotivated when it comes to school work. I have to start my studying as well as begin my research paper for graduation... blah. Maybe we'll have to have a research writing party.

Here's to a new week and a new start? Sounds like Dan could use some company while I take some time to myself on Tuesday night- come on over! Maybe holding a baby will inspire you. :)
