Application Blues

I'm growing tired of my blog to tell you the honest truth. That's one reason why I haven't been posting very much.

It isn't as though things haven't been interesting and there has been plenty going on, but I just haven't felt as compelled to tell the world about everything.

I also have found it difficult to justify spending time working on my blog since I have been working on other things. I'm in the process of applying to grad school and between all the letters to references, statements of intent, teaching assistantship applications, and rushing around chasing documents, I haven't felt like I could realy spare an hour of writing time. When I spend the entire day writing, I don't really feel like sitting at my computer and writing more. Statements of intent are some of the most difficult writing I've ever had to do and after a couple of hours, I don't want to be anywhere near word processing software.

I got an early Christmas present yesterday. I'm going to Iqaluit over the Christmas break. My partner works there and is working over Christmas, so I decided to visit her. It will be a very interesting place to spend New Year's. I'm hoping to do some supply teaching up there if I stay into January.

Other than that, things progress as usual. I do have about three half finished posts that may appear but until these applications are finished, I doubt that I will have the fortitude get to them.
