managed to overbook myself again this week (which is fall break but which I'm not enjoying. or no, it's been fantastic actually -- roof-beers, Clue with Jon / Laura / Mari, lengthy rambles with Daniel -- but with full awareness of the work that I should be doing). I'm tired. wondering if working out regularly this semester is the only thing that ( Read more... )

now in Ohio with four dinosaur paleontologists, road-tripping it to Pittsburgh. before I left this afternoon, Cat trimmed my bangs. just now she texted: "Your hair is cute.... knock em dead. Find a cute jewish paleontologist."

trying to figure out what I'm doing with my life (again). had a long but fruitful talk with adviser yesterday, at the end of which I decided that I won't go straight to a PhD program after finishing my MS next May. I don't feel ready right now: my research just started, I just formed my committee, yadda yadda. on the other hand, if I apply next ( Read more... )

lecturing undergrads for two hours starting at 9am is by no means better than being an undergrad lectured-to for two hours starting at 9am. does that even make sense? I'm tired ( Read more... )

tried capoeira with Daniel today. we are super BFFs now. it was only a half-hour session, but boy, I'm pooped and hurtin'. class tomorrow at 9am! I will be pooped and hurtin' even more then. have already been working pretty hard; one night last week I was at the museum until 4am; now must work harder, but with an actual normal schedule, which ( Read more... )

pragmacynic: lol

ffff, MK just reserved our flight tickets to Seattle. we'll be there from July 29th to August 1st for my cousin Elaine's wedding. traveling's become an ordeal, though I haven't even gone out of the US. when I return to Ann Arbor, I will be glad not to have to go anywhere for at least a month ( Read more... )

what a surreal fuckin' day! didn't sleep last night, left Ann Arbor at 9am, and am now at a station in Benton Harbor, which is sort of in the middle of nowhere. almost exactly one year ago I was at this same exact place, having met this juvenile delinquent sort of girl who was making a pilgrimage up to Marquette to bury her best friend who had ( Read more... )

fffffff, revising my proposal is getting in the way of dining on fine schnitzel at Walzwerk.

I'm just whining, though. whining because I am hungry. :( as usual it's my fault that I've gotten behind on work and can't get out to enjoy being back in California just yet.

this'll sound completely clichéd, like most anything relating to coffee-shops or whatever -- but I absolutely enjoy hearing from old friends :') especially when so many things are happening in their lives -- like the last of my Berkeley friends. I am sure that a lot of them, having graduated this year, will go on to accomplish amazements, and ( Read more... )
