Geoff and I finally made it to my house... it was a long and scary journey ( Read more... )

I am going to bed... my lack of concentration ability is driving me nuts.  I'm hoping my brain just needs to reboot, so I'm getting up at quarter to six tomorrow to continue studying.  Then I'll take my exam at 8, haggle with student services, and spend the rest of the day in the library watching French movies and taking notes.  :-P

Goodnight

One final down, two more to go.  I handed in my Arthurian Lit paper, and I've been trying to study for tomorrow's Chem Analysis exam but I'm having trouble concentrating.  I feel very blah, and I still have a lot of stuff to do for my grad school applications.  I wanted to have them all done by now, but then finals snuck up on me.  I'll work on ( Read more... )

I finished my last lab write up for the semester!  Yay!  I'm very glad to be done with that lab... it kicked my butt.  I hate, hate, hate doing analytical work by hand.  I have a much greater appreciation for all my instruments now.  I made my notebook all pretty and made sure it had all the info it needed and now I'm watching telly.  New episode ( Read more... )

I was bored yesterday, so I made a festive costume for my main City of Heroes character, Sophie Marie.  She's an invulnerability/War Mace Tanker, and even her weapon is festive!  I like to think that she tries to spread holiday cheer to the villains of Paragon City... but if they're not interested, they get a good whomping from the holiday mace ( Read more... )

I don't like the winter, it makes me all mopey and sad.  It hasn't been a good week.  My lab write up grade wasn't good and I had oodles of glassware to wash on Monday.  Tuesday was completely non-productive, and I still don't really enjoy World class, though it's gotten better.  Yesterday a friend I've been trying to get together with didn't come ( Read more... )

I started working on my Brandeis application, and I realized that I'd really, really like to go there.  I wasn't sure, but as I was going through the faculty pages (hunting for thesis advisors), I discovered that they are doing a lot of research that I would love to be a part of.  The problem is, Geoff really doesn't want to go to Boston...  he's ( Read more... )

Meh.  I was all set to be productive and such today... I don't know what happened.  We got breakfast at Friendly's since we were very hungry this morning, but didn't have any food in the house.  Then we went grocery shopping, and it started to snow.  :-)  Tilapia was on sale again, so I get to have fish this week.  Mmmm... I'm making the crock pot ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving went well yesterday.  Dinner was good, even though there was no cranberry sauce...  Mrs. B actually liked the oyster stew, though she thought the oysters had a weird texture.  My baked apples went over pretty well, and everyone got along.  We watched WALL*E after dinner while we went through the ads for Black Friday.  We got up around ( Read more... )
