Comprehensive Exams, Day 1

Well, it's 1:15 am and I'm sitting down to make final edits for the day. Don't get all worried about me, I generally work this late during the year anyway so it's no big deal - but the fact that I've been staring at my computer since 9am this morning makes it a bit worse.

Things I learned today:

If you're going to have to sit in a chair for 14-16 hours straight don't wear pants that have a tie string, wear stretchy pants. (Mental note for tomorrow).

My sister is awesome, I had a granola bar for breakfast, trail mix and Twizzlers as snacks all day, two mini bottles of Dr Pepper and beef jerky (I know...it sounds gross when I write it all out but remember it was spread out over a LONG LONG day!)

A card with a little mouse trying to lift a big barbell is really funny after 7 hours of writing.

I can't be signed out of my email even though I should be, if I am I worry about it so it's not worth having it closed. I know, I'm addicted.

Exposure and response prevention is the most effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

........and we will need a new A/C unit, new hot water heater, and new appliances if we get the house on 1102 Oakview.

Alright, back to editing. Stay tuned for further updates......
