the time issue
tis the quarter that i schedule my 2nd year exam for advancement in the Ph.D program. as always, there is no such thing as an easy task. i can't reach one professor at the moment and its starting to stress me out. he's big in the biochem world and is always out of town. naturally, i can't schedule my exam until i can confirm dates with him. he has his own secretary, and what i don't understand is why on earth she can't look up his schedule for me and help me pick a date. argh. to make matters even more stressful, my boss sent me an e-mail reminding me to schedule my exam. NO DUH.
at the moment, lab is also getting stressful. one of my experiments is not working the way i want it to and i also spilled one of my samples that took 24 hrs to make (angry face). there are all these little things that i need to do, and i need to start brushing up on my inorganic chemistry. i need an undergrad slave who will do the minor things for me. the sad thing is, i have all these free time after lab since i don't TA or have classes to worry about. that will probably change by next week though. i have a fellowship application to work on and 2 presentations coming up within the next few weeks.
bedtime, and back to the routine.
