January

Attempted to post a video blog. Failed beautifully, then put off updating for another week. Maybe another day...

Winter break was nice... Not nearly long enough, though. They only gave us two weeks for Christmas -- which barely covered the span between Christmas and New Year's. No MLK Day off, no President's Day off, no spring break until the end of March. *sigh* On the plus side, Niles will be visiting in mid-February, and Jenni will be visiting in the beginning of March. (YAY!!)

Back to the old grind - it was a little rough to readjust at first. Also, we had a midterm two weeks after we got back from winter break, which was a bit of a challenge since I'd forgotten most of the material from before the break. But I passed it (with some wiggle room), and I've been doing a bit better this past week.

Physiology would be wonderful if it weren't for the Physics...

Mourning the loss of my cuticle clipper... No idea where it went.

Lunch today is a pre-packaged Asian noodle dish. (Reeeaaallly missing Anderson brunch right about now.) My diet could be worse -- but any dish where your vegetables come freeze-dried in a square-inch-sized mylar packet . . . no one yell at me! A girl has got to eat! And I have been cooking a bit more lately. Stir fry, chili, taco salad...

On the subject of food - I need to go grocery shopping. (It seems like I always need to go grocery shopping, unless I've just been.) For some reason in Pennsylvania, there is a legal limit on the price of milk -- not the upper limit, but the lower one. I honestly think it's state law that no one can sell 1% milk for less than $3.38 -- more for 2%, less for skim. The dairy farmers must be hurting . . .

I'm off to study!! Those mines aren't going to sweep themselves!
