I needed a Saturday like today. Sleep in and rest.
It might sound a easy thing to do, but for me it is a privilege. Usually, I will be doing homework at Panera Bread (free net), participating in some kind of meeting, or house chores.
But as i mentioned, today was different. My wife and I went to the Six Flags and had a GREAT time. I recognize this is, and will be instrumental in achieving my academic goals (Ph.D).
It is a inside joke to talk about self care amongst the members of my cohort.
Well, I did it, at least for today.

Just Surviving :D
As you can see working on a Ph.D. is somewhat time consuming. Looking back I realize that I did have the time to come and add a post or two; I just didn't have the brain power to do so :D
Well It has been a amazing ride.
From learning about the basics of research to debating race and ethnic relations.
From practicing at the university's counseling center to learning the ins and outs of being a supervisee.
The first year is coming down to an end. I realized that in someways I loved and hated it. I quote my wife and mentor, "You are doing exactly what you want to do". Amen, I just need to balance it all.
