Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday
OK, so here I am. Another semester is in full swing. I have an exam tomorrow and a prelab due right after that. But do I feel like studying? No, of course not. And is the prelab paper done? Youve got to be kidding... So now that you all know why I am finally bothering to update my journal at this point in time, we can all move on. This entry may seem scattered, but just read each paragraph as its own entry and it will be all good.
Things have been going really well for me lately. I am enjoying (or at least tolerating) all my classes this semester. My research is getting off to a slow start, but hopefully after thursday's meeting, I will have lots to do on it to keep me occupied. I am just getting over a cold, hopefully the last one of the winter *crosses fingers*. I have enjoyed snowboarding and playing computer games (Diablo, Starcraft) in my free time (and my procrastination time too).
I overslept this morning. I apparently didnt set my alarm last night, so when I woke up and saw that the clock said 9:37, (my pchem lecture started at 9) I got out of bed and to school pretty darn quick, only missing about half of the lecture. Luckily, I apparently didnt miss too much notes, because the first 20 min he apparently was going through a notes packet that he handed out (I got a copy after class).
Yesterday was a really nice day. It was finally above freezing for most of the day. The sun was even shining. But then today spoiled it. It was still above freezing, but cold rain is worse than snow. Besides being miserable to be out in, it turned the inch thick packed snow in the parking lots into inch thick ice intermingled with inch deep puddles of slush. yuck. double yuck.
The first meeting of the retreat planning team that I am on was yesterday. I think things are off to a good start on that. I have no idea yet what I will be presenting on, but I know things will work out for it according to Gods plan. We at least got a good idea for a theme (though we couldnt think of a catchy sounding phrase to call it yet). I am excited about planning another retreat, I learned so much from doing it last semester, and the team is wonderful. We all get along great, which makes the meeting both more fun and more productive.
I still dont know what I am doing this summer. I was hoping that Pfizer would call me and tell me they want me to participate in the internship program, but nothing yet... I have also applied at Merck and at Roswell Park Cancer Institute for intenship programs. Worst case scenario, nobody wants to hire me and I will find a lab here in the Chem dept at UB to work on. Which would also be a good experience, since I could presumably stay on the same project next school year as well. Good, but not as good as pfizer or Merck. I hate waiting to find out, I wish I knew already. Not much I can do about that though.
Brrr, I am cold sitting here at my desk. I was thinking maybe I will take a shower to warm up before I do my hw and go o bed. The problem is, i dont like the shower at my apt. I mean, i still use it, but its obnoxious that the temp changes any time and one in the building (4 apts) uses the water. And the water pressure isnt very good either. Thats one thing I dislike about my apartment. But the rest is good. Maybe I am just too picky. Regardless, its about time for me to move on to other endeavors. So until next time, ta ta.
