So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
Pin drop.
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 @ 11:55 pm
As in, with the huge lack of updates I've been doing lately, you can hear a pin drop here on my blog.

I've just got a lot of things on my mind lately.

- Work has certainly picked up in pace. We're getting ready to publish a paper, which means I'm scrambling to fill in some holes in the data. Co-authorship, here I come? Hopefully. I've also been desperately trying to keep the lab clean while I work. Doesn't help much that my PI makes a giant mess wherever he goes. Oh, well. I guess I can keep my bench clean. That'll work.

- It just hit me that it's nearly August. This means that I need to start gearing up to fill out applications for graduate school. This also means that I'm far behind on my reviewing for the Biochem GRE. I always tell myself that I'm going to start "next weekend," but by the time the weekend rolls around, I either find myself too busy with family matters or too exhausted from the week to actually start. This is a cycle that needs to be broken somehow, but I can't see past quitting my job or letting my family down as far as options go. I'm being somewhat facetious here, but there's a kernel of truth in it. I guess there's also hidden option "C", which would be to suck it up and push myself harder than I already am. Somehow that doesn't quite scream "WISE DECISION IN THE LONG RUN!" but I might take a chance on it.

Watch me burn out.

- I need to start waking up earlier. Last few days I've skipped breakfast and felt it slowly killing me at work. Could be what I need to get through the days without feeling so dead tired by the end of them.

- ANTS. KILL. I wake up with a new bite every morning. It REALLY pisses me off.

Watch you turn into ashes? I think I rather encourage you to keep on burning, keep on shining.. Ants bite? Hope they're not those type which might kill you.

Ants??? ewwww!!! Right now we have a serious gnat problem here at work. I feel that we are infested! They are fricken EVERYWHERE!!!! Good luck with your grad school apps. Best of luck especially with the GRE's!

Ants are horrible. Dave's got a carpenter ant problem, and it's creepy, you smack the wall and hear them clicking in anger. :/

This is... a very... interesting template you have here.

I would freak out if I had ant bites that often...

I, too, can NEVER get myself to wake up as early as I should. =/
