Many, many good things!
Sep. 8th, 2006 01:34 pmThings here are going well. I'm not even going to bother listing the bad. (Well. I hope not. Provided nothing sets me off.)
1. The semester has started! I know I usually whine about this, and indeed I now have to fight for elevators, and I won't even bother going to Dominick's again until summertime. But it also means that lots of people are around -- including new postdocs and new grad students, which is exciting -- and there are lots of things going on.
2. Steelers! Yay!
3. I find myself identifying with and talking with the post-docs more than the young grad students. Maybe that's not all good, but I think it's a good sign that I'm comfortable talking about science with postdocs. After all, they will be my peers next year (aieee!).
4. Miss Manners was really awesome this week. I love it when rude people write in, convinced that they are right. Are they really that delusional? Or are those letters made up?
5. The eyebrow waxing didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. It doesn't look all that different, although I suppose it is neater.
6. Work is going okay. And I think I broke the intrinsic float command in Fortran, which I'm oddly proud of.
7. Dude! I'm getting married a week from tomorrow! Aieee!
