Ok, so I'm not totally surprised, but a little annoyed by my advisor at the moment.   Apparently he has decided not to go to the ACS meeting in just over a week and wants me to give his talk.  I've done a couple of experiments for this talk, but the bulk of it is some theory something-or-other that I haven't the foggiest clue about.  Next week am I ( Read more... )

It's a little disconcerting to realize the reason I'm feeling weird is that I'm content.  Now if I could just stop dancing long enough to go to bed, I could be content and asleep :)

So far I'm really liking my EA active game.  I've even managed to keep it up for a whole 7 days (granted that's with a two workout days followed by a rest day schedule :)  Today on my "rest day" I decided to sneak in a half hour of DDR.  I'd forgotten how much fun that can be.  I'm really going to try to stick with things this time.  I know it's ( Read more... )

I need to go back to cleaning my shower window.  Why I decided to start cleaning the impossible to keep clean window at 9pm, I'll never know.  At least it looks a little less disgusting... still not clean looking, but it never will.  

So, being in IL was driving me insane.  I decided to be crazy and drive to visit some friends in Minot, ND.  It was wonderful!!!!  I started off my visiting some friends in Chicago.  I got to play games, eat good food, hang out with a very cute baby, and see lots of runners covered in mud.  What can beat that?  Then I headed out on a 15.5 hour ( Read more... )

I'm having a lot of fun planning my trip out to Minot, ND.  So far I am making a pit stop in Chicago the 17th-19th to visit with some cool people... then I'm proceeding north to visit with my junior year roommate and her family (her husband is stationed at the air force base in the middle of nowhere).  Then, the following weekend I head home.  ( Read more... )

I'm most definitely having a "hug me" kinda day... but alas, no hugs.  At least there's a giant teddy bear in my life.   :)

Apparently my MP3 player really likes "Eat This Bread"... it seems to be played every 5-10 songs.  I may have to delete it.

Just for the record, today has been just crummy and seems to be getting exponentially worse by the moment.... I'd better get to go home soon, otherwise I'm not going to be held responsible for my actions.

I had a wonderful day yesterday consisting of sitting in my pj's and overdosing on tv.  It's been so long since I've had a day where I haven't had to go anywhere, do anything, or talk to anyone.  (ok, so I did  call my dad yesterday, but other than that I didn't talk to anyone... even online ( Read more... )
