Sick
I’ve been hung down by a really bad cold since Thursday. Headaches, stuffy nose, the works. At its peak was our Halloween blowout party at my house. We put up cobwebs, streamers, did pumpkin carving, played set and anagrabble, made punch with ice hands, and had dry ice bubbling around. It was rocking till 4AM. I’m sure our neighbors loved us, and by the end I was so ready for it to be quiet. I had a good time though, even with my cold.
Fall has hit hard, with freezing rain and snow. All the trees are shades of green, yellow, and brown with splashed of red. The weather is so strange here--snowing yesterday and 70 today.
My job is going well, doing a little subject testing, some data analysis and statistics, data entry, filing and photocopying. I have really flexible hours, my boss is great, and I hang out with the neighboring labs’ RAs (Research Assistants). I figured out how to narrow down my commute to a consistent hour each way. I’m not willing to chance the bus anymore, even if it is possible to shave 15 min off each way. And sometimes I ride home with an RA who lives near me. I looked at a couple apts in Beacon Hill, but the good ones are few and far between.
I’m taking a neuropsych class, but I really hate doing the readings or studying my notes. I keep getting second thoughts about the possibility of grad school. If I hate reading and studying, but love talking about the material with people and like doing research, what should I do? I’m just going to play it by ear for now. Maybe after a year I’ll have made up my mind. Maybe I’ll go into surveying or outdoor architecture and landscape design. I’m still not organized enough to find time to spend with friends in the Boston area. I have my housemates, who are great, but it seems impossible to find the time for anyone else. I don’t even have time or energy to do or plan things I want to do!
I can't wait to give out candy to trick-or-treaters tonight.
