First off: No. I do not have my thesis written.

Second: Yes, I am making my way back to LJ.

I have discovered that writing a thesis is boring. BORING!!! It is the most godawful, horrible, single most annoying thing I have ever had to write, and I don't like it. It truly sucks. I have been finding any excuse under the sun to avoid writing the damn thing, even knowing that the sooner it's written, the sooner I can stop being a poor, underpaid slave labour graduate student, and go on to being a poor, broke, unemployed member of society.

For your reference (because I know you're all just dying to know), here's some of what I've been doing the past few months.

1) Not writing my thesis.
2) TA-ing a course that involves far too many dissections of organisms I can't stand to look at, let alone touch. (Such as squid, giant grasshoppers, fetal pigs, cockroaches, centipedes, etc... ::shudders::)
3) Started knitting up a storm to avoid writing my thesis.
4) Downloading every tv show that captured my attention for 5 minutes.
5) Became addicted to the GeeksOn podcast - partially due to the fact that one of the guys is/was a recurring character on Numb3rs.
6) Sleeping late. Very late. Like, 'my days have flipped' late.
7) Avoiding my thesis supervisor as much as humanly possible, lest he ask how my thesis is going.
8) Discovered my absolute love of Timothy Olyphant - I'm loving Justified, am slowly downloading Deadwood, and considering getting in to Damages to watch his 13 episodes.
9) Finally got around to watching Band of Brothers - I LOVE!!!
10) Ended up writing the sequel to THIS (and is now waiting for me to send to a beta).
11) Started a cracked-out '5 crossovers Immortal!Kate will never know', and mostly finished the next Barista fic.
12) Avoided writing my thesis.
13) Read far too many apocafics, giant crossovers, bad HP fics and even worse SGA fics.
14) Played Xbox. Played Spore. Played Civilizations. Played with my shiny new iPod Touch.
15) Searching for a job for when I inevitably finish school.
16) Did anything and everything to avoid writing my thesis.

Does anyone see a pattern here? Yeah. I'm a slacker. And I really, really don't want to write my thesis. (Have I mentioned it's boring?)

So, since I've been sort of MIA these past few months... How is everyone else doing?
