ugh lots has happened... getting behind on updating this but i think i might start jotting ideas down here and there a bit more often
finished my thesis defence on may 30th... it went pretty well... i only re-read my thesis the saturday before.... made up a presentation sunday... tweaked and practiced it on monday tuesday (only 3-4 times) and then presented today in front of 3 advisors, my peers and my parents... it went better than expected and the questions werent too too hard... i was imagining getting grilled to the point that i may faint... but most questions werent too bad... my advisor even set me up for a few questions that he knew i knew the answer to... god bless his heart.... in the end my writen thesis needs about 12 changes it.. half of them requiring quite a bit of time but i hope to finish them soon.. however usually after a long day at work its the last thing i want to do.. but it needs to get done!
work has been going pretty well.. as one of my co-workers said the other day.. its like a rollercoaster.. some days you really feel like you're getting a lot done and the next day you feel you're back at square one.. sometimes its a little trying when you're a project owner for a number of tasks however you feel you don't have any control over the task at hand... luckily in the past few weeks ive become a "project lead" for a small group of people im working with which helps me co-ordinate my project a bit more.. however it is a bit strange telling people that have been there over 10 years about how to get this particular project done when you've only been there 3 months.... would love to get into more details and bitch a bit more but im not at liberty to say... but needless to say its going to be a challange and thats what keeps it interesting
what else is new is that in the last two weeks ive met someone who pushes all the right buttons and drives me a bit crazy sometimes... a good crazy tho... ive known her for about 2 months now but its only recently that weve both noticed each other on a different level... this also has some challanges but so far things are going pretty good... we spend a lot of time together and we might be doing some travelling in the near future... hopefully the more time we spend together will solidify things but like i usually tell myself is that only time will tell.. and that if i dont risk putting myself out there... theres a zero chance of probability of it working out
this month is going to be pretty intense... in the last month or so ive started keeping a google calendar to keep track of my life... it helps.. but unfortunately i cant make my weeks 9 days long... ah well =)
