To-Do

[pinkphooka]

Found the writer for a third letter of recommendation.  Grad school applications, here I come.

This weekend I need to:

• finish up personal statements for grad school
• email those essays to the professors writing my letters of recommendation
• bake pumpkin bread for gift-giving
• bake cookies for Christmas party at lab
• yoga
• Chris's birthday party
• Work Christmas party? Do I really want to go to that?

And there's this book I really want to buy for myself titled Human Genetic Diversity: Functional Consequences for Health and Disease and it has so much beautiful information about human genetics that I was falling in love with it just looking at the table of contents.  But it's a textbook, and as textbooks always are, a little pricey.  Still.  It could be my Christmas present to myself I suppose.  I really, really want it.

Today, as I was studying for my organic chemistry final later today, I was pondering to myself how it was that I handled a full class schedule and two jobs.  Now I'm only taking one class and I have two jobs, but I find I get a lot less done.  I procrastinate more.  I'm not as productive.  Apparently a full schedule made me so much more capable of juggling different things and succeeding very well at it.  I had all A's while I had a full school schedule (ignoring my first year of college where I bombed physics classes).  Now I'm happy just to have a B in Organic Chemistry, and it's just one class!  Not even that hard like everyone says it is.  I'm just lazy.
