Time crunch
Whenever I get to work superearly, as in before 10am, my herculean effort to do so is never rewarded. Today, for example. I got here at 8am so that Allen and I could begin embedding tissue in epon, only to discover upon my arrival that we have to wait for the boss, TK. TK has not shown up yet. I poured a gel, then sat down to read some papers but ended up surfing the net.
On the work front, I've been extremely busy. My committee was satisfied with my progress when we met a few weeks ago. I passed that test, the reward of which is more work and more deadlines. My proposal--and more data--are due at the end of June, and the proposal defense is scheduled for late August.
What complicates things is that I'll be spending a week in Hawaii this month. My BF and I are attending his friend's wedding in Oahu and sticking around to swim and do touristy stuff. I know, you feel sorry for me. I'm worried about how much work will need to be done beforehand and afterward to make up for lost time...other than the evenings and weekends that I already work...but in grad school there really never is a good time to take time off.
