i could be working
I've done everything I can think of today besides work. It's not my fault though, I came in this morning fully expecting to recrystallize my sample, and it's not dried yet, too many samples on the lyophilizer. Eh. But yeah, figured it's been awhile since I updated, so here you go. ( this ended up a bit longer than I'd planned ) -
time for change
Today, I mentioned to someone that one of my fav. pics of myself is that one from Trick or Drink a few years ago. And when I tried to figure out why, the main reason I came up with, was that I looked so happy ( Read more... ) -
in case anyone was wondering....
I am still in fact very clumsy. Tonight, I got out of the pool to help the rookies put in the cage since they were sucking at it, and ended up standing on a kickboard which was hanging partially over the edge of the pool. Kelly walks away to go hold some other part of the cage before I a) have my balance or b) have a good handle on the cage. And ( Read more... ) -
YAY!!!
I passed!!! They were like "the good news is you passed, the bad news is you get a lecture" and then told me I need to go back and make sure I really understand the basics since I needed a lot of prodding to get the basics out, even though I did know them on some level. But I passed!!! And now I have to write the intro for a paper and do my ( Read more... ) -
second year exam
I gave my presentation yesterday and did really well. I couldn't answer the question one of the prof.'s asked, but the head of my committee came up to me afterwards to make sure I understood it and to let me know that I should think about it over the week and have some sort of an answer by my oral exam next week. So yay, done with the papers and ( Read more... ) -

recent events
Waterpolo is over for the quarter, we had a little Christmas party that was pretty fun. I've been baking cookies quite a bit and making chex mix, though tomorrow is the cookie baking extravaganza, it may get a little out of control, unless I just get tired of baking. I've started swimming again, and tonight was the first full practice I stayed ( Read more... ) -
toasty!
I just got motivated enough to look at the thermostat again, and realized I could pry off the cover to get to the temp setting, and when I changed it from 65 to 73, the radiator started working overtime and now my office is warm and toasty. I think maybe we should just leave the cover off the thermostat so that whoever leaves last can turn it back ( Read more... ) -
holidays
I went home for Thanksgiving and got to spend a lot of time with Erika and also visit Dr. Hatcher-Skeers, and of course eat lots of Thanksgiving food (I made 4 pies, 1 for Erika and Morgan) and lots of other food that doesn't exist up here (In-N-Out, Rosa Maria's, etc.). Now I'm home and plotting out all the cookies I will make for Christmas. The ( Read more... ) -
long weekend
This weekend, I went to visit my grandma, and also play waterpolo at a tournament our team hosted. We played 4 games on Saturday and 2 today, and I hurt all over. I got whacked in the eye on Sat. but only look like I have a black eye if you try to look for it. I think most of the muscles in my upper body are sore, including my rib cage, and my ( Read more... )
