But which one is the real Beyonce?!?
It's been snowing on and off all weekend, not enough to stick, but enough to fill my head with James Joyce. I want more more more. If it's going to be winter (which I hate) it should at least snow (which I love).
(1) I'm totally not engaged yet with this semester yet (my last!!), which I know because it's a month in and I still can't remember which classes I'm taking or when they are. I should probably work on that. But I think I'm happy with how my schedule turned out:
- Science, Technology and Development.
- Gender, Labor and Development in the Middle East.
- Humanitarian Crises.
- Microfinance.
Hooray classes I'm interested in! More or less.
(2) I've also officially chosen and submitted my topic for March's oral exams, the high-strung gauntlet we go through to graduate. (Still infinitely better than a thesis, IMHO. Been there, over-researched that.) I'm briefing on the social and economic returns of information communications technology in West Africa, with policy recommendations. So.......let me know if you have any ideas for that!
(3) This week I gave myself my first shot with a syringe instead of an Epi-Pen style injector. I requested the syringes when my rheumatologist switched me from Enbrel to Humira because I had so much pain with the pen and I'd heard that it hurts much less when you can control the speed of the injection instead of getting all 50 mg slammed into you in ten seconds. And it worked! It barely hurt at all! But I won't lie, it was fairly scary facing that needle down before I took the plunge.
(4) Oh, also I cut off all my hair. Surprise plot twist: apparently I have curly hair?!?!?!??? Kind of? Dim sneak preview via someone else's Twitter account. Except I have no idea what to do with curly(ish) hair. But that's another post altogether.
