So, I survived the 5 hour drive back. I'm still a little sick of driving and catching up on sleep, so I've been really lazy these past few days. In other news, discovered that my PI has been out due to a back injury or such and will continue to be out till July 11. For some reason, I don't find this in the least bit surprising at all nor am I even ( Read more... )

Being home tends to be noticeably detrimental to my productivity, so I'll use that as an excuse for not having posted in a fair while. But I have been productive! Not that I really have anything much to show for it so far, beyond being chock full of odd and interesting facts concerning the female metabolic cycle, estrogen, and bulimia. Terribly ( Read more... )

I'm almost certain that I'm sick, or that my body likes to randomly run fevers. There's no other reason why I'm feeling this tired, even this far along. No reason at all. That said and done, the trip to Atlanta was a success! Mostly.

( the trip summed up in six points )

First week of class, or second week of class plus two days. Semester, you're off to an off kilter start still. Kind of like that Bones spinoff thing. There's also a rabid cat (or was, not sure) and the school's been sending out warnings about rabies all week.

Being home tends to equate to me being distracted a lot, especially with holiday and gift shopping and things to do.

So, I may have finally done in my computer of seven years in. The thing that finally might make it kick the bucket is the hinges breaking. Snapped metal cylinders are hard to fix, so the screen flops around and can't stay put. So, ( Read more... )

It only took a stressful period of a day, and never mind that I forgot when it was, but registration is done. And so we have what I call the "research friendly semester" aka the easiest 17 hours I'll ever take-
( I also call this the liberal arts classes schedule )

Happy Halloween for all those that it applies to and celebrated it! Myself, I sat around and did homework and boring things ( Read more... )

HEY HEY I'm alive and posting. Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles.

Yep, moving on. I've been really lazy and fallen into the 'Languishing period of Summer In Which Very Little Productive Things are Done and Much Vegetating Is Done'. That about sums it up. So, when a distraction like Twilight Princess comes along, I tend to drop everything and ( Read more... )

Sleeping with your computer on is sometimes a bad idea. Sleeping with a laptop that overheats on your lap will lead to uncomfortable burns. Ouch. Pain's a good teacher, though ( Read more... )

I like being home. I get to take long, hot baths and have a lot of Magic cards around and sleep in. And have good food, so it is nice but also a bit distracting sometimes. I also came to the realization I have a LOT of Magic cards.

I decided at some point early in the semester to try freezing things again (this really is becoming a bad habit now) ( Read more... )
