It's soooooooooooooooooo hot, I'm melting. Ugh, I don't know how I will do Aikido in this heat. Why not have cooler uniforms, like capoeira, simple white t-shirt with loose white pants.

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
So, classes start up again tomorrow...and my advisor is back...good-bye, freedom. In this day and age, why hasn't it become the norm for academics to do most of their work from home? I can do my work from anywhere, even my toilet. I don't even need the internet most of the time, except for when I'm doing a lit search. True, there are benefits to having some facetime with your advisor but that can easily be done by scheduling weekly or bi-weekly 30 min to 1 hour blocks of time to meet with them. I mean somedays I only say hi to my adivsor anyway (some days not even that). So why do I need to waste the time to commute to campus and be in that stressful and tense environment? I'm so much more productive without a micro-managing psycho looking over my shoulder. I'm also a lot more productive working from 9am-1pm then running errand or getting out of the house for a couple hours then working 1-2 hours before dinner and working another 1-2 hours in the evening. Even though it doesn't add up to 8 hours, I get so much more accomplished than when I'm in the office for 8 hours.
