TGIFB

Well we’re halfway through the semester already apparently.  I have three midterms this semester, thankfully they’re all on separate weeks.  The two I’ve taken were already as hard as any midterms I’d had in undergrad.  You’ve really got to keep up with your reading in graduate school, as tempting it is to drop it for Netflix and Hulu bingeing. 

This past Monday and Tuesday we had “fall break,” two full days off from class and work (at NKU anyway).  What exciting things did I do over the break you ask?  Well it was my 22nd birthday (!) so I celebrated appropriately.  I hit the links at A.J. Jolly golf course and did surprisingly well for once.  Other than that I treated fall break like just that, a break. 

Some exciting stuff has been happening at work lately; I found out I could possibly become a published author, twice!  I definitely won’t be bragging about that on my résumé (I was a French major, accent marks are important).  One of the projects I’m working on may even lead to a conference or two.  Professor Lambert submitted one to a conference in Chicago, and we should find out around Halloween if we’re accepted or not.  So keep your fingers crossed!  I’ll definitely let y’all know how that goes in next month’s blog post. 

So tips from this month: 

·        Keep up with the reading; it’ll pay off for midterm time.

·        Study your butt off for midterms whether they’re open note or not, they’re no joke.

·        Enjoy the heck out of your fall break because you won’t be getting more time off until Thanksgiving.
