last week I buckled down in a writing workshop and doubled the length of my thesis so that feels good. i also actually have testable hypotheses now which in the social sciences is an accomplishment in and of itself :P
this weekend i take my program's comprehensive exam so keep me in your good vibes thoughts for that. when i think about it logically, there's no reason that i shouldn't be able to pass because all i have to do is answer 3 open ended questions about security studies using theory since that's all i've been working on for the last couple years ... but when is anxiety ever rational? i even had my first panic dream about the comps last night wherein surprise it was actually a 50 question short answer test with random details. which is just silly.
next pubski is my birthday tho so there's that. just gotta make it through this weekend.
