Day 299--The Election
I watched the final presidential debate at my place with a friend (who, for the record, is six months younger than I am). Best thing that came out of the entire debate ( Read more... ) -
Day 298--The Job
When I started graduate school, I didn't really know what I wanted to do after school. At a place like the U of C, there's sort of an unspoken (actually, maybe it is spoken) understanding that the grad students should want to end up in research careers. My first couple years, I did the standard TAing for undergrad classes, and, while I enjoyed it ( Read more... ) -
Day 297--The Surgical Diet
I ran into a friend/former student from the U of C and she had the same comment that everyone else has had: I look good for someone that had heart surgery. The comments from people seeing me for the first time after the surgery have all been something like ( Read more... ) -
Day 296--New Digs
One thing I don't think I've really mentioned at any point is how awesome my new apartment is. When we were in grad school, Sam and I lived in what we thought at the time was a pretty great place. I actually felt lucky to live there. I thought it had everything you could ask for--it was in a great area (Lincoln Park), it had a built-in hutch ( ( Read more... ) -
Day 295--Finishing Strong/Dr. Wilhite's Neighborhood

So, I'm going to try to post every day from here on out (I understand this is not a huge commitment). I'm also going to try to wrap up some things I haven't apparently posted enough about before ( Read more... ) -
Day 293--Limitless Paper in a Paperless World
Last Friday, I saw a new doctor, in Elmhurst, for the first time. There's obviously no reason for me to continue driving back and forth for appointments, especially when everything is going so well. The appointment went well--I think the new guy seems knowledgeable, and responsive. At the end of the appointment, he wrote out an order for a ( Read more... ) -
Day 278--T-Plus Two Months
I was going to let the blog slide for yet another day when I looked at a calendar. Today makes it two months since the surgery. Tomorrow will mark the one-month anniversary of the first day of classes at Elmhurst. In a way it's all flown by. On the other hand, it's actually started to get difficult to think back to what things were like the ( Read more... ) -

Day 277--The Fate of the Bear
So far, the outpouring of concern for Sir Koff A Lot has been downright existent. People must feel strongly, because they use extra punctuation when asking about him ( Read more... )
