I've been home five days, I've only been at work three days, and already I'm behind--how did this happen? Oh well, they call me Queen Of The 16-Hour Workday for a reason. Between project meetings, security clearance crap, seminars and review, and actually doing work, plus taking a summer class (Biodefense and Bioterrorism--very cool class!) and ( Read more... )

GO GMU!! MASON FINAL FOUR!! And UCONN just LOSES ( Read more... )

It was a nice run...but losing to LSU?? Random, and painful :(:(. And UCLA beating Gonzaga in the last 1.6 seconds, and George Mason making it to Sweet Sixteen? This is the season of major upsets. My bracket is torn to hell for those two conferences...oh well, haven't lost too many of the big bets yet, so nothing too bad (we'll see what happens ( Read more... )

Still unbelieveably busy, first time I've sat down to do anything other than work in the past two weeks, literally. I like my schedule, but even I, the anti-vacation poster child, am looking forward to Spring Break in a week and a half. I really like working at the lab, and most of my classes are fine, although a bit blah. Almost everything I have ( Read more... )

Intersession classes are over, and second semester starts on Monday. I'm trying to get psyched up about having actual classes, but I don't think that will happen until the classes actually get underway--I don't have any humanities classes this semester (unless Microeconomics counts...), which sort of sucks, but I did take two humanities classes ( Read more... )

I can't sleep late at all...I have class today at 1:00, and I went to bed around 3 AM but I still got up at my normal time, 7:30. On the plus side, I got breakfast, went to the gym, did laundry and am going to shower and edit two reports before lunch. I got a laptop! I should name it something fun, in typical Lisa fashion ( Read more... )

Visiting TJ always makes me happy...talked to DC for awhile and then went to Namaste again--realized that I am a lot closer to some seniors and juniors than I thought I was. And then Jenny + Chinese food + My Fair Lady--it is now my new favorite Audrey Hepburn movie (except Breakfast at Tiffany's, which can't be beat), although the feminist in me ( Read more... )

It's always fun to see lunch group friends, and tonight was no different. And thanks to the girls for rescuing me and my car from the scary driveway with wonderful human-road-barrier technique! Plenty of wacky moments ( Read more... )

Hey guys--my brother is taking the SATs in March and was looking for a test prep class to take. Did any of you (or anyone you know) take a class that was really helpful--like Princeton, Kaplan, etc.--or use any test prep stuff that you felt brought your scores up? I'd really appreciate your advice, because he didn't like the class that I took ( Read more... )
