All Appearances Indicate that She's Still Alive
It's been over a month since I've posted. I think I've been super busy. I finished a presentation for a conference that was this past week. I didn't go and I didn't present it (and I didn't want to do either anyway because of the craziness of classes right now). But I hope it went well.
I'm really, really excited for the end of this semester. My Stats class is boring and has a lot of homework. I think I have learned a little bit from it, but not as much as I was hoping to. My Biosystems class turned out to be about mathematical modeling. I'm not sure I'll be able to apply anything I've learned to my research...but it's interesting at least (math, interesting?). I've been scrambling to write a rough draft for a paper that I didn't have time to work on until I got the aforementioned presentation finished.
The most exciting news is, by far, that I submitted The Paper for publication! Yay! (The one that's been in the works for over a year...) :P I don't know what took me so long... Now it's just a matter of waiting to get the reviews back.
On a disappointing note...I was going to make homemade rolls for a Thanksgiving potluck today. I was looking forward to making them. But someone donated 200 rolls and 30 loaves of bread, so they don't need them. Now I don't know what to make. :( I'm sad and disappointed.
On a worrying note...the check engine light came on in my car yesterday. I think that after hitting 100,000 miles on Tuesday, it has decided that it should have a mid-life crisis. Really, car? You had to do this right before the holidays when I need to drive places? Here's hoping I make it to and back from Thanksgiving okay.
