Day One Hundred Ninety Eight

Laundry. Grading. Coughing. Sneezing. This was my day.

Day One Hundred Ninety Seven

Five things seen/heard today at UT - Valentine's Day edition

1. "Cure your Valentine's Day depression with SUGAR!" (I almost bought one of their cupcakes due to how much this advertising made me laugh)

2. A very emphatic middle aged woman holding a bible and screaming about the impurity of Valentine's Day and 'Valentine wine' (no, I don't know what this means, nor do I want to)

3. A giant, very colorful table full of candy and, as the enormous sign advertised, free condoms (way to keep it classy UT)

4. A guy outside the Co-Op 'dressed' as Cupid, wearing only tiny white running shorts, a ribbon around his neck, and a handmade bow and arrow (I made sure to walk past him very quickly)

5. A guy dressed as a giant penguin (I still don't know why, but I immediately liked him more than creepy Cupid)

It was an odd day. Even though it was a gorgeous day outside weather-wise, I just stayed in my lab to avoid the general weirdness that was happening all around me. But when I got home, my apartment complex had little Valentine's Day goodie bags for all the tenants. Awwwwww. AND my roommate made chocolate-covered strawberries. Best dessert ever.

Day One Hundred Ninety Six

Nyquil mini-coma, take two.

I woke up this morning barely able to hear out of my left ear.

Uh oh.........(good thing tomorrow is Friday!)

Day One Hundred Ninety Five

I feel like my body should know by now that it doesn't have time to get sick in any way. Ugh. Luckily I made it through teaching my lab as well as a group homework session. Now its time to go in to a Nyquil mini-coma.

PS - Exam tomorrow morning. Everyone cross your fingers for me!

Day One Hundred Ninety Four

Longest day in the history of forever.

Day One Hundred Ninety Three

So sleepy. I even took a nap at my desk today (on purpose) and I couldn't stop yawning the entire day. Such a Monday.

A record FOUR people came to my office hours this morning! I was pretty excited. 2 of them weren't even in my lab. The hour flew by, and I can only hope that what I told them actually helped. If it didn't, they were all atleast nice enough to pretend it did. I'll take it.

Also exciting, another lab day with no broken glassware. I'm still in awe of this due to the sheer amount of broken pieces of glass I had at this time last semester. I'm starting to realize how absurd that broken glassware streak really was. I still kind of miss those clumsy, butterfingered students though. They were fun. The two labs this semester also seem like they'll be enjoyable...thank goodness.

Another winter storm front is rolling through tonight. It's getting real ridiculous. It was fun at first, having school delays and reasons to stay in the toasty indoors. But they've gotten so random and the weather so bipolar I feel like I'm getting temperature whiplash. Texas! Make up your mind! Be cold or be hot for a week straight, just choose one!

Day One Hundred Ninety Two

I graded papers and made more flashcards today. I thought weekends were supposed to be exciting? Thank you, Gran and Papa, for taking me to lunch and reminding me of life outside of school. Highlight of my weekend.  :)
