Hooray!!! I just have to say that I have 15 pages of my thesis done! That is officially exciting. Introduction is mostly done...I think I have to do a regional stratigraphy section, so that might add a bit, but yay. Methods section? Done! Introduction to Localities section? Done! Systematic taxonomy? 1/2 Done! Now on to/back to the work I started over Christmas break. Those damned plates and systematic taxonomy go hand in hand. As soon as you catch one up, the other one falls behind.
You may think "my God, why does she write about her thesis in here all the damned time?" but according to the people who comment on my journal, but the people who comment on my journal are almost entirely limited to MBK, and he does care. So, comment and I love you more, and you read more fun things. I think this IS fun.
Anyway, here is yet another update on my life. That's the best part about livejournals, they let you remember what your life used to be like...mine doesn't change much, but its still good to see the growth.
If you eradicate the work from my life, there really isn't much to say. I got into the play, which is phenomenal and rehearsal has been going splendidly. I am the primary puppeteer of the character Rebecca, and its been extremely challenging. A totally new acting experience, and I look forward to growing as a performer immensely. That's what its going to take for this show to take flight. Of course, being in the play means I'm smoking a little more frequently than I perfer to be doing, but what else do you do when the directors are outside having a smoke and that's what you did throughout METAMORPHOSES. God, I miss that show terribly. Speaking of which, I saw Alisa Dan today! She's visiting from Boston, but is likely moving back to East Lansing, so if anyone is looking for a housemate...she might be looking for an appartment.
Valentine's Day was great. I'd describe how I feel about it more, but I'm still pretty speechless that someone wants to treat me so well. He put an arrow of caramel kisses on the floor pointing to more strewn about my bed. There was also a card and a flower sitting on my pillow.... ***sigh*** Josh jokes, and I quote "Trish, sometimes youre so girly, and its so funny because other times youre so grrrr..." or something like that. I know I'm a dork, but I don't know how to accept the girliness, so I just get grr and hard and flash back and forth from one to the other. oh dear.
Alright, we have dinner with the XO rush girls at Dana at 6, then I promised Drew I'd go over to watch the hockey game with him. Then hopefully back to SLU for debauchery or some such thing.
