I've been home for a week already, but I'm still exhausted. Everytime I open a book, I just fall asleep. It is so muggy and humid here compared to Alberta. I feel really lethargic and useless.
Or maybe the problem is that I'm just really feeling directionless and 'ungrounded' from life. Everyone seems to be returning to more worthy pursuits than I am. I mean, for the first time in, I don't know, 20 years? I'm not going back to school. I mean, I am, but I'm not physically moving to another city like I've done for 5 years now, or attending classes. I don't know if I have the conviction to see this thesis thing through for an entire year. Maybe I'll just be a grad school drop-out. Has a nice ring to it, no?
wedding
Attending a wedding of someone I barely know tomorrow. Not that I mind, it just seems a little strange. I've always thought that people get married in early summer. Of course, my knowledge of matrimony derives primarily from Hollywood, so really, I have no idea. I suppose a late summer ceremony would be nice. I think an autumn one would be even better. Nothing like a Halloweeny wedding. ;)

That's what I feel and behave like whenever I am at home. I don't know why I do it, I just can't seem to keep from acting that way. I know it's totally immature, and rationally should be under my control, but really, I don't know. I think living with your parents bring out the worst in you.
congrats
One of my friends just successfully defended her thesis. You know who you are! Mucho kudos
don't worry, man. you'll do just fine on your thesis, and you won't be a grad school dropout :o) you're a trooper, and that's a very important part of the whole process--i.e., that you don't give up easily.
