Wine for the whiner

I took a break from blogging because, well, I find it difficult to find time to sleep nowadays. At all times, I am either grading, reading articles, writing papers, prepping to teach, studying for exams, or researching. That's no exaggeration. I average about 5 hours of sleep a night and I eat quickly. All 16 coffee mugs are usually dirty at my house. To be honest, at times I wonder what the hell I am doing here. This is more work than I ever imagined and there is certainly no end in sight.
I will admit it has gotten better since the beginning of the semester. For the first few weeks I was reading hundreds of pages a week of things that just didn't make sense to me. Now, I understand about 50% of what I read which is huge. (Maybe I'm learning?!?!!)

In other news, it's Saturday and instead of forfeiting an entire work day to tailgate and attend the football game, I'm going to work all day and enjoy a nice big glass of wine tonight. I've been looking forward to it since Monday.

I wish I had something more exciting to talk about but I don't! I could bore you with the details of school and my downward spiral of the consequences of my procrastination, but who needs that? There are no social functions in my life, there are no men, there are friends but they are in the same boat as me so there is nothing interesting to share there.
But hey, that means no drama either, right?! Sometimes no news is good news :-)
