So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
I can't decide if it's a blessing or a curse...

The good news is that according to this quarter's collective syllabi, my exams/presentations/papers are spread out evenly throughout the quarter at about 1 per week.

The bad news is that according to this quarter's collective syllabi, my exams/presentations/papers are spread out evenly throughout the quarter at about 1 per week.

I'm leaning towards the whole "blessing" thing. But we'll see how I'll feel when I sign up for the molecular biology grad seminar at SJSU on the 24th.

In other news, my sister is back from science camp. Of course the first thing that happens when we get home is that my mom and my sister start yelling at each other. I swear to god, my mom has the funniest way of expressing her love for my sister. Especially since the entire week she's been mildly depressed/worried/bored. Well, that's just how my mom is. We both know she loves us, but that does not preclude her from driving us up the fucking wall.

That's about all I have to report. It's Friday, so I hope everyone's going out or otherwise having fun. As for me? Well, this quarter, the key to success will be being extremely disciplined. So I'll be finishing up some work ahead of time while I actually have the luxury of otherwise having no major projects to worry about. It's all about cultivating good habits, folks. Maybe a little late, but still better than never.

I keep forgetting you live in the same city as me and it just seems weird...

Projects at a rate of one per week would kill me I think.

Haha, let's see how long you'll last with that thought...if you're a complete 360 from me, I bet you will! Good luck!

I'm pretty unphotogenic.

I don't think anyone has a picture of me that's any more recent than the one on the side of my page.

Not even my parents...

I just decided that I'm going to start collecting state quarters yesterday. It's cutting into my laundry money pretty heavily. But when the first words I read in your blog entry were "quarter" and "collective" the first thing I thought was, "no way! ranor is collecting quarters too?!?!?"

and then I was like, uh... I'm dumb.

I would think it'd be a curse for me only because I'm such a huge procrastinator. Isn't it funny how parents are all weird when their kids are gone, but then they go back to their normal selves whenever the kids come back? I think it can be funny at times.

haha, your mom is my dad.

well....not really no. But they express their love in the same weird WEIRD way. I think I'd have to go with blessing as well...but dang. G'luck there buddy. Really. I'm sure you'll keep us posted.
