life’s good

15. June 2009 by admin.

I’m in Tampa with Tom, and life is good… I feel academically lonely, but that’s fine, I should get used to this… I was completely useless for the first week here, then I slowly got back into shape, now I’m working well. I’m reading Hagit’s books, and Hornstein’s book, and Hogi’s book… I decided to give up on reading Adger for now, because I have a bit much on my plate, and I don’t have that kind of attention span. I’m mostly advancing on Hagit’s first book and Hornstein’s book more than the other two because the first is directly related to my screening paper and the latter is crucial for doing syntax at all.Being with Tom is awesome, I get cuddles every night, and I feel so connected… I love him so much… I love the fact that we’re each other’s babies, he’s my baby sometimes and I’m his sometimes…  I threw a temper tantrum today when Tom tried to help me with making the plates, because he made my plate ugly unknowingly, it was a cute tantrum, he was mostly confused at first, and amused later… he said i’m a 4 year old… admittedly, sometimes I am heh, especially when I’m doing one of my little “projects” (like cooking a pretty meal)I study all night and sleep in the morning, I get to cuddle with Tom before he sleeps and right before he wakes up (when I go to bed) I wish I could just go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time, but if I try to do that, I end up chatting and talking to my parents all day while he’s at work and I don’t get anything done. The current state of affairs has me sleeping while he’s at work, and hanging out with him when he’s awake, and studying at night, which is a good balance for us… the only down side is that over the weekend, we don’t get to spend all our awake time together because I’m sleepy during the day and he lets me sleep and doesn’t wake me up… he says I’m too cute to wake up :PI’m still waiting for the criminal background paper to come in the mail before I can apply for the Australian visa, it’s quite inconvenient that I can’t book my flight now, it’s like $800 round trip now, it’s definitely going to be more expensive later… meh… oh well… hopefully it’ll go smoothly as soon as I get the paper.I am a bit jealous of the people who went to the morphosyntax workshop in Stuttgart… it looked awesome (and Marijke’s joint submission on diminutives in italian and hebrew seemed cool), I would have wanted to be there… I wish I had something to say about this stuff before the deadline last March…a + tardSarah
