I raced the train this morning on my bike, and totally beat it to the stop. Yeah baby. :) Endorphins > caffeine!
This morning as I was getting ready I had a couple of awesome insights about how to design the research for my dissertation. And, now at school 2 hours later, I still mostly remember those insights. That never happens! I'm soooo thrilled ( Read more... )

turns out my advisor wanted to talk about other stuff. so my insights didn't help at all, I went into the meeting totally unprepared cuz I didn't know his real agenda, and now have a mile-long laundry list of to-do items all due in the next 2 weeks. boo. ah well, I wrote my little insights down and they'll be helpful when I get back to my actual dissertation work.

and didn't you even get a chance to bring up your awesome insights? like "well, it's great that you have an agenda, but check THIS SHIT out!"

nah, they're conceptual insights. if I had results to go with them, or used them to write up a nice concise set of aims, then he'd go for that. but generally I like to get my advisor in a good mood if we're going to be talking concepts, and he was in a pretty poor mood by the time we got through his whole laundry-list for me.

I think I'd be mad if someone gave me a bag of carrots. I mean, I luuurves me some carrots, they're just not very gift-y. Though maybe if I'd gotten a bag of veggies I wouldn't have had such a horrible sugar crash yesterday afternoon. Also if I hadn't eaten the whole carrot-bag of candy all at once... :-/ What can I say, I like candy; it's too bad it doesn't like me. I know you know how that goes, J. :D
