Other people are assholes. I'm sick of people whose ambitions are obvious to all, but who think they're covering them up pretty well. I want people to either be completely genuine, or completely false. I will have none of this in-between crap. It's kind of like watching the WNBA instead of the NBA: what's the point?
So I think Brookhaven is going to offer me an internship. It's not been a week since the application was due and some guy who works there has emailed me 4 times about potential projects. I am very excited...except I will apparently live in a dorm-like facility while I'm there (they provide housing). But it's 10 weeks on Long Island for $4000 plus housing doing physics research! Admittedly, it pays less than the other internship I applied for, but the other one is for IBM doing physics related to computers and I could be sent to Texas or California. I suppose the main thing is that after Brookhaven offers me a position, I have 2 weeks to accept or deny it....and it seems like I'll probably have to accept it before I even hear back from the other internship. Oh well, there are worse positions to be in.
I accidentally bought muffin mix with LARD in it. Normally I'm good at picking out the non-vegan items on an ingredient list, but so few things use lard nowadays that I don't look for it. But I noticed, right before I was about to make them, that they had a surprising amount of saturated fat in them. Err. Is it too weird to take muffin mix back to the grocery store to get a refund?
Today is a day I want to just stay in bed.
