i did mean for this to be a more reflective post. but the best blog posts come when you're "in the moment". i.e: NOW.

haaaaaaaiYAH!

i think i have it down to a formula - in recent days, i update my livejournal when i'm very stressed.

but this time i'm surprisingly in an un-fatalistic mood -- although i really should be.

let me explain.

TOMORROW - i'm leading an article discussion for cell bio. wait, you don't understand. that's a paper discussion with a professor who doesn't take BS, and who reads the article as well and actually calls you out when you miss something or screw up.

FRIDAY - i have a physical chemistry problem set due. nuff said.

SUNDAY - is easter Sunday. there's lunch. then there's work (T-T)

NEXT TUESDAY - i have a 20 minute grant proposal presentation + proposal summary due for advanced cell bio. wait, you don't understand. i have to do research and come up with a NOVEL question, and invent some sort of experimental protocol. realize that my professor doesn't believe in BS, and that even if i tried, this is something that i cannot BS about.

NEXT WEDNESDAY - i have my thesis draft due. wait, you thought i didn't have a thesis. well, it kind of is -- it's just not something novel. but it's work. that's intro, methods, results, discussion. intro requires research. methods and results required lab time (i.e: no time for article research). discussion requires intellectual guessing. results require number crunching and chart production.

NEXT WEDNESDAY - i may have a physical chemistry quiz due (but i'm trying to get an extension on that. from a professor i'm actually quite afraid of. please God, help)


Oh, Lord. how'd senior year come to this?
