Grad School Interviews: Round III

Well, another thursday where I rush around all day like a crazy thing and then fly off to some grad school for interviews, fine dining, and interesting folks. That, and I think I get the best sleep on these things, because I don't take any homework with me. I've been going on 3-4 hours of sleep for the third night in a row. According to Neuroscience, the effects of total sleep deprivation don't show till the 3rd day, but of course I did get some sleep so maybe I'll be ok?

I'm looking forward to visiting Madison, WI--but at the same time this whole process has lost that edge of adreniline. I just want to be done, actually. And I'm nervous, because this micro department is HUGE, and I worry terribly that they'll be dissapointed with me. I know I shouldn't care about that, but it's part of why I stick with biology--I have to learn confidence in myself to survive, so I will have challenging work foreva'! Prudy recommended a beer parlor on lake mendota to go visit--isn't it amazing there are places called "beer parlors"? So I'll try to go there as a sort of pilgrimage, although my main goal is just to see as much as I can without freezing my little booty off. We'll see. . . .

I need to get better sleep. I got my lab for physics done, right on the dot of midnight (when it's due). Not how I'd like to live my life, but hell, all my work is done and caught up for the time being. But my dreams are still disturbing. This time somebody was saying mean things about Dave right in front of my face, and I was so mad at myself for not ripping them a new one. Instead I just ran away, but the same rude people ended up being there too. I couldn't get a away. But I feel better now that I'm awake again.

OFF TO THE EVEN MORE FROZEN WASTELANDS!
