The Importance of Being Existant
I can't believe how long the week since I've been back has been. First off, Bob moved in with his kitten Apollo. Work has been dull as anything which is what has made the week drag on so much. I slept through the entire weekend, literally, except for reading a couple of boring stem cell papers about how stem cells don't work the way people want. I'm exhausted just in general. I finally got paid for the first time today, only because I insisted.
And somehow I got awarded a fellowhip (the grad equivalent of a scholarship) that pays me better and requires less work of me than my stipend would have. So that's good it's just sort of surprising and confusing, but apparently being the one to get the stipend makes means something. And of course it was based on merit, of which I'm not sure I have very much. But hey, I got it, so apparently everyone else sucks more than I do. Hooray for Tulane encouraging my superiority complex!
So for now, I'm just doing my thing (wandering the halls at work), and waiting for the semester to start. And my higher pay check to kick in. Hello, Mac Pro :)
