  • Classes start Wednesday.


    My 714 person Bio101 class is having a catered event...of "eat your way through the phylogenetic tree." Riiiiight. We TAs are confused, the course coordinator guy is confused. In general, we hope SOMEONE else knows what that means. (and that we don't have to clean up after 714 other people!)


    My first lab is Thursday at 1130am. I would adore prayers. I don't care who you pray to, so long as you are sending good vibes. I am utterly terrified. I don't think I'll eat that day, for fear I'll puke on a student.

    Tomorrow...my last "free" day. And by free, I mean, I'll be finishing up my abridged version of Darwin's Origin of Species (which I found FREE and online! yay internet!), organizing and finishing up my papers (I've got like 10 left to read, and probably 50 or so to organize), revamping my proposal (which needs to be done hopefully by the end of next week, my prof is riding my ass about it - cuz really, I'll do it in my free time!), finishing data analysis and then determining how much more I should do (if any!).


    Quite the free day! I'm theoretically hoping to get about 1/3 of that list done. I'll be leaving at about 745am (sunrise is 730, and as I don't yet have a bike light, I can't bike in the dark) and I'll stay no later than 7pm (same reason, only sunset as opposed to rise). yay for 11hour days! (but only because they are shorter than 12 hour days!)


    It is amazing how much of a difference teaching a class is going to make in my life. Ergle.

    I want a grownup apartment. I feel like I live in a glorified dorm room. Well, except for one thing! I bought this nifty satin-y scarf to serve as a table cloth for my bedside table...it's very 70'sish, with green and gold and copper and red and white designs on it. Sometimes, I feel like it's the only grownup thing in the whole apartment.


    Someday, if I ever have non-garage sale furniture, maybe this will not be a problem anymore.

  • my yardstick for being grown-up is not only having my own apartment and paying for it (i've already done that once), but also having nice-ish things in it...

  • I will be thinking of you. I know you can do it. :)

  • you know...origin of species was a lot less controversial than i thought it would be. even funnier: i read it for an english class.
