Another one of those pauses

As has happened here before, my lil' blog is taking a bit of a back seat to other real-life concerns. My thesis may or may not be in the final stages and I really really want this thing to be finished soon. Spring is always a busy time where I work, and this spring is nuttier than usual because we've been hosting a major event each month since January - and this will continue through to June. I also have an additional project I took on a little while ago that is taking more of my time and energy than I'd anticipated.

On top of all that, for Lent I decided to give up Google Reader. I briefly scan through posts on Sundays, but otherwise I'm not spending the time I used to on picking up fun tidbits from the interwebs. This is good for my productivity on all those other things, but it cuts down on some of the post fodder I used to have.

So except for the occasional fun fact, don't expect a lot of input around here until later this Spring. I prefer to post here when I have some actual content, so hopefully when I do return I'll have some good stories to tell.

In the meantime, if you like hearing someone grouse about the grad school process, check out PhD Comics. The complaints for those of us earning measly Master's degrees are shockingly similar.
