I've been able to keep working bit by bit through writing in the down time between classes and homework assignments, though I haven't been able to actually write anything while not on campus due how much is going on right now. Unfortunately, it appears that the business will continue at least through February, and likely for the whole of March, too.
There's the additional issue that I've begun giving serious consideration to grad school again, and I have to start making decisions about that somewhat soon. There are three different ways I could end my B.S.--cram it into two semester of horrific workloads, spread it out to four semesters (meaning I would graduate in the "usual" four-year span of time), or keep with my three semester plan and just take a semester off before starting grad school. A lot of schools don't accept any students for the spring semester, so I'd really have no choice but to apply for the fall semester and wait. Beyond that, I'd need to start planning out taking the GRE and the subject GRE for physics, since both are required by almost all schools, and I'd need to figure out recommendation letters, and actually start picking schools to look at...
This is a kind of nightmare for me. It doesn't help with the combination of classes I'm in right now, either. But, I will do my best to keep up with the writing. I want to churn something out this year, and the more I get done now, the less chance there is that I'll be setting daily word quotas during the summer.
Any of you in school, I hope your semester is going well, and if not, I hope it turns.
Later.
