Well my phoenix tattoo is finally done (http://cornell.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=34697468&l=d00cd&id=429798). I went in and Dave was like, "wow, a lot of the yellow held!" so that was a good thing; a lot of the color held from the first session...
I'm really pleased with how it came out. People can ask what they will and criticise me for it, not understanding why I got a phoenix... I'll never give a straight answer.
I know the significance. and that's all that matters.

I'm realizing how completely fucked I am for the rest of my life. But you know, whatever. I'm just gonna try to get through finals and maybe I'll put off grad school for another year or so. Get a job somewhere, doing something with flavors hopefully.
I'm REALLY interested in the application of fermentation to flavors. We'll see if I can find anything related to that.

Finals coming up:
Preservation-takehome-due monday-completed.
Fermentations-oral exam-Monday, 11am... not ready. at all.
Sensory-Wednesday, 9am. haven't started studying yet.
Food Chem-Thursday, 7pm. Haven't started studying yet.
Sensory Lab paper-need to do results/discussion. Haven't started.
Research paper-need to write it. Detailed methods, and basically say, "this is what i found but uh. they don't count for shit. straight-up iron sulfate solution shouldn't smell metallic but this one did."
Manageable, if I get my act together. I think the papers should be the least hard to get motivated about, so maybe I'll bang those out tonight. Then maybe the fact that I got them done will provide me with the motivation to do everything else.

Honestly, I just don't care anymore. About anything.
