I'm working 20 hours of TA next semester with a very hard class outside of my comfort area and writing my thesis. CRUNCH TIME. LAST STRETCH. I was instructed to work on thesis over the summer as well as finish my epigenetic project and I don't want to go to the lab AT ALL. I don't have a job for the rest of the summer (read: I am not getting paid for lab work AT ALL, I just verbally commited to it to my P.I. ) and I want to work on my health and get ready to get ready for a PHD program somewhere. This summer looks like:
Between the vacation and the dogsitting in CT, I've lived out of ziploc freezer bags and luggage for a week and a half. I cannot wait to be able to use my vanity and shower. I'm never listening to other people give me packing advice again. I am NOT high-maintance but I have ALWAYS had 2-4 wardrobe changes a day (exercise clothes, daytime/play clothes, nice outfit, jammies) and I ran out of not smelly/not stretched out clothes to wear on day 3 of the cruise!
I went to Bermuda. Say it very slow, like it's the most beautiful, magical place in the whole world. Ber-mu-da. Horseshoe Bay Beach and the Crystal Caves.
I'll throw a picture album up on Facebook, I'll talk at length about it in person.
I deleted Facebook off of my phone and I am trying not to check it or use it because I think it contributes to my anxiety or at the very least it is mostly uncomfortable interactions that I could live without.
I still love snapchat, though.

- started crossfit (Mon, Wed Fri 5:30 - 6:45 in Northampton for at least one month)
- starting morning yoga next week (Tuesdays at 8:30 9:30 am, $5 to join me! Other classes are going on too. Umass campus rec center.)
- starting medication I used to be on for depressive swings and irritability, starting vivanse and getting off of ritalin. Maybe sex drive and desire to hang out will come back.
- more frequent therapy sessions, for above reasons.
- booking massages regularly (need to pick a place) as well as day trips. Matt works, so these might be solo. Kinda broke for awhile.
- starting The Dark Tower series, re-listening to Harry Potter on audiobook, reading 5 new books. Would love to sit in a coffee/tea/bookshop with someone else and just read.
- sleep-deprived for the past five weeks, ready to get 8 hours a night again. Waking up at around 8 am every day regardless of weekend or weekday is not a problem, that's my internal alarm.
- Gathering recipes that are actually delicious and afforable and taste great cold. Mostly cold salads without greens.
