...is my friend Amy. I broke down to her last night, sobbing about getting everything done and being under a lot of stress, etc. One of the things I mentioned was that I was sure my neighbors thought I was a horrible awful person because my grass needed to be cut so badly.

I got home today...and my grass was cut.

I felt AWFUL about this for a good long while; I thought one of my neighbors had decided I was just never going to cut it and did it for me.

I called Amy, just to have someone to talk to...and it turns out she did it, to help me out. People like this restore my faith in humanity.

That was very sweet of Amy.
I'm sorry to hear you're under stress, I hope things look up, Megan.

What Morbo said.

(((((Megan)))))

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

Thanks...I love you guys! [Smile]

Things will be better in 2.5 weeks, when all my stinking qualifying exams are over.

Until then, it's like PMS all the time. I'm weepy and moody and stuff. It's tons of fun.

Did I mention grad school sucks?

I don't know if I know who you're talking about, but if it's the Amy I think it is, she's really cool, and I like her a lot. And I can totally see her doing something like that! [Smile]

Poor Megan, though. *hughug* Chin up! Just imagine what happens AFTER 2.5 weeks... you don't have to do any more coursework, while the rest of us labor in classes all day long...

I like Amy a whole bunch, and I've never met her. She sounds like a great friend. (((Megan)))

I'm glad you have good friends. Hang in there! [Kiss]

Oh, I thought this thread was about my boyfriend... [Smile]

Amy sounds seriously cool.

Raia, it is the same Amy--she is officially my hero!

And, after the exams are over (assuming, of course, that I pass them [Razz]

), then comes dissertation! But, you have a point; being done wiht coursework is great.

(((everyone)))

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Oh, ok. Yeah, she's awesome. [Smile]

And, thanks to Megan, she pronounced my name right on the first day! [Wink]

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

Yeah, I confess to coaching her on that one. [Big Grin]

And now, since you know her, all we have to do is get her to register on hatrack, and then she'll be real!

Of course, then you won't be able to complain about your theory homework on hatrack... [Evil]

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Haha, very true...

I could second the vote for Fahim after he lifted the clouds for me on the RSS thing... I felt like such a dork when he clued me in!

Goody, I hear you! Completely! Remember, it was that same program that got us together because of the problems I had figuring it out.

WHAT! You should've called me! I would do it for only 14.99 + extra do the weeds and traveling expences, you'll be getting a call from my union!
