I had to go in and work in the lab both Saturday and Sunday, which pretty much blew my weekend. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I had to work 8 hour days or anything, but there's something about having to go in on the weekends, even if its just for a few hours, that really makes me feel like UGH! I was supposed to go hiking on saturday but had to cancel last minute b/c science is unpredictable. Instead of spending time in the beautiful out of doors, I chose to be a semi-grumpy homebody. I spent most of my free time this weekend watching episodes of Buffy on netflix streaming. I had forgotten how much I loved that show when it was on. I also cleaned the ENTIRE apartment. It really, really needed it. Both my roommate and I have been super stressed out this quarter, so things started to really pile up. The living room/dining room/kitchen areas were nightmares. I think that it's probably what the insides of both of our brains look like right now. Everyone keeps telling me that this is the hardest quarter to get through. I hope so. It's all so crazy right now that I can't even tell if the reason I want to quit is because I really don't like doing science like this or if it's just panic. Anyway, cleaning and Buffy. Laundry and food shopping. Not studying or reading. This is how a weekend passes. Maybe the next one will be different. I do feel very well rested though, which is a rare/good feeling.
