I completely forgot that I have a Jewish Studies thesis meeting tomorrow. Here's where it starts to get problematic: S.G. and I are in the seminar together, and the dates of the assignments due reflect S.G.'s schedule, since she is writing this in one semester and is graduating in December. And she doesn't have another thesis to write. I, on the other hand, have been pouring my heart and soul into my anthropology thesis (as you all know) and have been pretty much neglecting the Jewish studies thesis. I'm not doing it on purpose, but my priorities right now rank:
1.GREs
2.Homework due this week
3.Anthro thesis
4.Grad school applications and stuff
5.Jewish studies thesis
And I'm still on 1 and 2. Maybe I'll get to 3 this week if I'm lucky. Oh, and I have to figure out stuff for the ASOR conference. Maybe it would be better if I skipped out on it and spent more time thesisizing. I really need to set aside one library day for the Jewish studies thesis. I could do it on Wednesday, but by then the thesis meeting will be over.
And for the meeting we're supposed to have a draft of our thesis statement and paragraph. I don't have a thesis statement! I don't have an intro! Or a feasible outline! Or anything! Nothing at all! It's like asking me to write a thesis on a book that I haven't read. In this case, though, the books are both articles and people. Not only have I not interviewed people, but I ahven't even formulated questions to ask them. I'm soooooooooooooo behind!
I want to curl up in a hobbity ball and cry right now, but that won't help me get work done. I should be nice to myself and take a long bath to get rid of all the pain I caused myself from overexercise today. And I should go to sleep by 12 since I wake up at 7:30 on Tuesdays.
I hate stress. A lot.
I e-mailed Hellerstein. Hopefully she will take pity on me.
