Tonight, I am staying in, ordering a pizza, and reading a pile (read: 33) of papers to try and get a thesis position with a supervisor.

Is this what it feels like to be a responsible adult? Because right now, I'm not liking it so much.

(Although it beats last night's awkward steampunk/60s porn-playing bar. Never again.)

I'm alive. Barely.

Back at school for 6 days of class. Already I have 18 papers to read, two essays due next week and a lab journal to finish. Apparently taking two fourth-year courses in third year is a bad call; next time, someone REALLY needs to tell me this first. I have 10 hours of labs tomorrow (3 are statistics, and I am so thankful that's ( Read more... )

More to the point, it's working in a developmental biology lab with FROGS! I'm definitely low woman on the totem pole, but it still feels nice to have one of your profs trust you enough to give you keys to the building and make you babysit his kids... I think.

Roomie has a date tonight with Mr. Freaking Gorgeous. I'm SO happy for her! She's been really shy about dating since she had her ex broke up (first boyfriend and all), but this guy seems like a good one. They're off to some wine bar here in London, and lightweight roomie promised not to get too drunk on her first first date in years... He's 2nd ( Read more... )
