Quick update!

I'm at lab right now, and should be going home to sleep, but I haven't posted in five million years and I always get bummed when other people stop posting, so here:

1) I reaffirm my assertion that graduate school isn't so much intellectually challenging as psychologically challenging. Every day is this battle to work hard for your work, even when it isn't freaking working. Blind ambition, sometimes

2) I am now officially a lab T.A., and it's for a lab section filled with senior-level microbiology folks, so my undergrads pretty much know what they're doing, but freak out about writing assignments.

3)My current ideal perfect day/vacation would involve a 1-day road trip that would lead to Florida. I'd drink tropical drinks in the evening, eat shrimp, and listen to the surf. My grandfather has a home in Clearwater, Fla. and in my small vacation I would stay there, and in the morning I would get up and drink coffee on the dock and smell the fishy sea, then go back to bed till noon. Then I would get on a bike and ride over to the beach, and spend the day lookin' for shells and maybe reading a book. The rest of my ideal day is too mushy for publishing online, so you can thank me later folks.

GOODNIGHT!
