St Andrews Lynx Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I'm drinking lots of camomile tea whilst I'm waiting, and making sure to take a lot of hot baths. Just the usual de-stressants.
echlori Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Finished reading Rainbow Six on my kindle...only managed to burn a day and a half though.
Trobon Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 My Kindle has never seen more use. I'm trying to use this time to get caught up on all the books I've always wanted to read.
sansao Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) My Kindle has never seen more use. I'm trying to use this time to get caught up on all the books I've always wanted to read. Not a bad idea. After grad school, we may never want to read again. Haha. Edited January 22, 2013 by sansao
Samahito Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 We have a 6-week break between Fall and Spring semesters (this being my last semester as an UG). All grad application materials for the 5 programs I applied to were due during finals week last semester. Other than jury duty and a quick trip to the Oregon coast, I've been catching up on reading and fairly going crazy. I've almost finished Wallace's Infinite Jest (a HUGE novel). Can't wait to get back into class next week!
CarrieLe5 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Apart from waiting for mail delivery each afternoon, I've kept busy by going on walks with my dog, Millie, and baking. I've also formed a reading group (historical theory & practice) on campus. I may adopt playing The Sims though, based on some of the posts on this thread.
apotheosis Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Although I don't play the Sims (anymore), this image still perfectly captures my Sim-like life. https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/6270254336/hC9D76DFA/ Which brings me to the fact that I'm just eating take out and snacks all the time nowadays! Jelly doughnuts ftw. Edited January 24, 2013 by apotheosis practical cat 1

callista Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Steam has a special on Dungeon Siege games - I just bought all of them + DLC for $14.99. I should also get back to playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, but both of my toons are on Tattooine, and my progress on that planet is really slow.
kglad Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Wow, everyone's got some great ways to get away from obsessing on admissions! Cooking, practicing music, obsessively checking my email, watching documentaries, watching tv series from front to back, and watching "comfort" movies, and rereading my favorite novels. Yoga helps when I do it. Oh, and the occasional night of wine seems to help, too, and getting together with friends for board games, music, and movies. Thankfully the new semester started, so I'm getting some good distraction while working on my Master's. Otherwise, I would obsessively refresh my email inbox and fret even more than I am. Cooking is by far my most productive activity to reduce stress. I'm working on a few recipe modifications because I like to think of recipes as a suggestion or guideline for ways to make yumminess happen.
