At least, that's the reason I gave for the knee brace today to a professor who was asking about my injuries.
The knee still hurts. But I can bend it now, even if not all the way or without pain. Waiting to see what the doctor says tomorrow.
I've done a lot of work today, but not nearly enough. I need to finish my R homework. I hate my R homework. I hate it with every fiber of my being, and if I could get away with not doing it, I wouldn't even bother with it.
It also seriously bugs how people have been acting about my leg. All surprised and concerned about me walking 3-4 miles a day (today I've walked 3.75 miles according to my tracker, I'm not exaggerating) on a damaged tibia, but if I'd stayed home and relaxed (like I want to) they would've been "Are you really taking this grad degree seriously?" I know they're just trying to be nice and/or helpful...but still. I'm being honest here, and it bugs.
Grad school in general bugs. You have to do crazy shit like walk around with a hairline fracture in your tibia and everyone is all, "You're doing too much," and if you don't, everyone is all, "You're just not working hard enough to deserve this." THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND.
I also would probably not be this grumpy and melodramatic if I weren't trying to do my R homework. But I hate my R homework, grad school bugs, and I need a second job. Or a winning lotto ticket so I can retire and build a castle and play princess or warrior queen every day, depending on my mood. And I would absolutely pay Colin Mochrie to follow me around for a day and make me laugh.
