Off to Relay for Life today.  I've got an orange ribbon in my hair for Aggie, and I've got my breast cancer pin too.  I don't know what color brain cancer is on the spectrum thingy, but Clete, I'm thinking of you!  Hmm... I don't know what prostate cancer is either... but Grandpa, Uncle Bob, you're awesome!  Skin cancer is up next, affecting ( Read more... )

Started doing the dishes this afternoon and realized that the sink was draining reeeeealy slowly...  The drain also smells funny, which leads me to believe a large-ish piece of food made its way down there and has become stuck.  Baking soda and vinegar didn't loosen it up, so now I have to put off the dishes again, and wait for Geoff to get some ( Read more... )

I think the GRE went well today.  I got a 610 on the verbal section and 630 on the quantitative section.  Higher than I was expecting, but still a bit below average for the programs I'm looking at.  I'm not going to worry about it though.  Dr. Salomon says that grad schools consider other things above GRE scores, and my grades are good.  I'm also ( Read more... )

The GRE's start in 1.5 hours...  I'm trying not to freak out, I know I'll do worse if I'm really nervous.  The plan:  Hope that I get the math section first so that I can get it over with, go through it slowly and methodically, do not answer unless I'm at least 75% sure that I'm correct unless I have absolutely no idea... and then employ lovely ( Read more... )

My GRE is on Tuesday...  I've been studying for a lot of the weekend...  I don't feel prepared...  Summary of events:

Friday
Classes till 3, then free!  I made delicious baked fish for dinner, though Geoff didn't like it as much as I did.  :-(  I studied a little bit for the verbal section of the GRE, and then Geoff and I played City of Heroes until ( Read more... )

Okay blah feelings, lonely feelings, and general listless-ness, Listen up!  You will go away for at least the next three hours so that I can be productive!

Things to do While Blahs are Banished:
1.  Finish lab write up and email to Dr. Lewicki
2.  Write and print out my paper on La Rue Cases Negres for French Film
3.  Wash the dishes

I should be able ( Read more... )

I've been feeling really weird lately.  Disinterested and listless, lonely, unmotivated.  It really sucks, as I'm taking the GRE in one week, and I only started really studying today.  I really don't want to work on my lab write up that's due tomorrow, and the dishes so aren't getting done tonight.  I'll do them between classes tomorrow I guess.  I ( Read more... )

2) Started Kindergarten!
3) I was very annoyed that Mom wouldn't let me paint ( Read more... )

Finished my Arthurian lit essay around 9...  I sure hope it qualifies as better than the previous one.  We'll see I guess.  Today was a pretty good day.  I spent most of it working on my paper, but we went grocery shopping this morning.  I convinced Geoff to try pollock, so I get to have fish this week.  :-)  I also found edamame in the frozen ( Read more... )
