I'm Back...

Have you wondered what happened to me?

Well, not to make you jealous - but this was where I went...


Using www.bookit.com, I discovered Punta Cana...


My vacation...hotel, flight, all meals, and all drinks was cheaper than just housing in Florida...


I planned a two week vacation, but I came home a week early. I anticipated analyzing my dissertation data, but the software wouldn't work on my computer. Plus, www.weather.com predicted a week of rain. I couldn't justify wasting a week of not working on my dissertation to just be sitting in my room.


So, I enjoyed this exact location (the majority of my trip). I read two books, 4 magazines, and wrote 16 pages of my dissertation. I was diligent and tried relaxing.  

Isn't it pathetic that I had a hard time relaxing?  That is definitely not me.

I start my job in two weeks, and I am extremely anxious about having as much of my dissertation finished as absolutely possible.

So, maybe one day I'll get back to Punta Cana, but for now I'm headed to the office tomorrow for some serious data analysis.
