It's that time of year again
Black Friday and Cyber Monday have come and gone. I've managed to complete exactly no Holiday shopping thus far, after swearing last year that I would buy all my gifts in October. Such is life I suppose. Lately my minds has been all over the map, in some cases literally. This whole "personal statment" thing is really a sadistic torture exerscise. I just like science, I want to study it. I should already have a Ph.D. Just let me in damnit!!! Somehow I doubt that's persuasive enough. We had quite the Dog-and-Pony show today in the department, as my boss gave a big talk in recognition of his endowment *snickers* as the Memorial Something-Something Watermellon Chairman. Lots of rich folks being paraded through the lab, meaning I actually had to do experiments instead of write and work on applications. I need to puut some more happy, upbeat music on the iPod, since after my reset software re-load and complete wipeout I just added on the stuff I've been into recently - too much emo. But that Maroon 5 album... it's too too good, I'm still digging it. Must focus. Do not let yourself get distracted. Taaaapa-Taaapa Tappa.
