Big assignments are LAME

Does anyone ever handle them well? I have a grant proposal that needs to be created for Thursday. 8 pages single spaced. Worth like 30% of my grade. Yuck. It's just alot of pressure that I end up putting on myself, but I'm on track--at least compared to the other Micro students I've talked to. My goal for today is to drive in to campus, and nail out my 2-3 research aims and a general experimental procedure. The hard part is getting research aims that don't depend on another research aim working. And having backup plans for each aim if the first approach doesn't work. Yowza. but if I can just get everything nailed down today, the rest of the week shouldn't be so horrific.

Of course it will anyway, that's how life is.

Saturday could best be summed up by me being a dork, and maybe also Dave being a dork, and our combined dorkness resulting in us fighting, me crying and deciding to go shopping, while Dave went off to work a suprise 3-11PM shift. We had tried to go sofa shopping earlier, but it was a pretty overwhelming task and I was starting to wonder if I could really afford a sofa. So while performing escapist shopping I found these cool folding papasan chairs at ShopKo, and clearance pillows. So after hauling those things home, and setting them up and moving furniture around--I had something that looked more like a real livingroom, which made me happy. I apologized, Dave apologized, and now we can sit together in actual chairs.

Ok, I need to get moving. Peace out!
