Comprehensive Exams Day 2
2:10 am and I'm done for the night! 20 minutes earlier than light night woo hoo! I have 10.25 pages so I need to find a way to cut out about 4 sentences to make it in under the 10 page limit but that shouldn't be too tough. This morning was rough and I got pretty discouraged but after taking a step back (and a lot of venting) I was able to move past it and get some good work done.
Things I learned today:
If I put the printer on fast draft mode it spits paper out too fast and it gets all jumbled up, unless I put my shoe in front of the paper tray to block it. Then it prints and piles nicely. :)
I HATE window unit air conditioners. If it's on I'm cold if it's off I'm hot - sheesh. I figured out today that the combination of shorts, energy saver, auto temp and 70 degrees seems to be about right...
If you're going to sit at a desk for 14 hours don't wear a shirt with an itchy tag (I know, lots of clothes problems right?) To cure this spill tortellini on yourself at lunch and turn your shirt inside out, no tag and no stain, much better.
I need to hide my good toilet paper better, I think other people are using it.
When 8 grad students being forced to take a ridiculous week long sit down to lunch together they get feisty.
The "truth" campaign saved the US 1.9 billion dollars in potential health care costs associated with nicotine use through prevention.
My brain must think that the 8 minute drive to Laura's house just isn't long enough because both nights I've left something salient to my continued work (last night jump drive, tonight laptop cord) at 808 W. Franklin. Turned an 8 min commute into a 24 minute commute...is it sad that I still think that's exciting??
Alright...off to bed, thanks for the continued support and positive thoughts. I'm feelin' them! Two days down...five to go. (aw crap)
