Yes, it is as Theo Sedai said; we study Scandinavian Languages (I study Swedish and Theo studies Danish), and along the way, we also learn about history and literature related to Scandinavia in general. One of our classes is dedicated to very detailed linguistic structures, such as grammar, and this semester we are learning semantics (primarily cognitive), which, as Theo said, is just... so all over the place, dispersed and misty. :indifferent: There's little in there that is concrete, but we'll manage something, we always do. :look:

I am taking a mental break from work (not avoiding it. nah-uh). I just had the most awkward conversation with our office manager about the toilet use etiquette... I mean, pardon me, but... there are limits to what should be addressed by the office manager, no?

Ugh Ne'Mireth... that sounds EXTREMELY awkward. :x

I am avoiding work. Not really. I'm taking a wee break for a few minutes.

Gotcha. I minored in linguistics and also had to take semantics... I took it the semester after advanced grammar and remember the frustration of the abstract concepts...I sure do miss college, though. :) ready for my masters!!

I am avoiding starting this new project that just got dumped on me yesterday. Gah. I really don't want to start it. It will be a fun project, really. But I just don't feel creative today.

So I started my new semester. Thank god, I have a bullshit class! My other class is going to be SO MUCH WORK. And then I picked the wrong group to be with. Do you hate group work?

Ugh, group work. :x

Right now, I'm avoiding my evening to do list. None of it is really hard stuff, but I'm feeling super lazy, to the point where writing, meditating, and taking a bath all sound like insurmountably difficult tasks.

[censors herself] I find that group work can be quite challenging because the overall product hinges on the quality of work for everyone. And unlike the workplace, there is little choice you have (sometimes) with whom you are paired in the classroom. So I would say I'm not a fan of group work, but I could probably work on it to get better. (Was that an oxymoron?)

How did you get into the wrong group, aes sedai? D:

Yay school though! :joy

Znadera,

School is my MBA work, and it's quite a bit of it, in addition to two kids and a full time job. So, I'm feeling the strain.

The group turned out to be not horrible, so I'm doing better, but yeah, they were all like, "Well, I can only meet on Tuesday and no other day."

I'm trying, Jim, but I'm burning out fast. We are only 1/3 of the way done and I'm already fed up with all the things I have to do. Meh.

What's your workload like?

Sometimes, I declare myself a "me" day, and I don't do anything or do anything for anyone for a full 24 hours, despite whatever explosions occur. Love those days.

Hang in there, Ne'Mireth Sedai. You can do it!

:wave

*cheers with pom-poms*
