St Andrews Lynx

The joy of finishing your marking for one week...only to realise another batch will be coming soon...

Bananas. Bananas and soy beans are THE ANSWER. Rocket fuel for lab report grading.

I got 99 problems...but a steady source of caffeine isn't 1.

Some battles in grad school I just ain't gonna fight...

Working LONG hours at the research. But at the same time, Sundays (my day off) are becoming things to really cherish, savour and enjoy.

Barely 3 weeks in and staying up late to write project updates & mark my TA work. I feel like such a grad student.

...And then there were students.

(To my amazement probably more than anybody else's) I did quite nicely in the placement exams. Things are off to a good start at Grad School, at least...

The undergrads are returning. Students. F*cking students. I'm too old to have to deal with students...

Beginning of my first Fall term means only ONE thing...free BBQs, ice cream parties and "refreshments will be provided". Priorities <-- Sorted.

Absolute craziness. Settling in to my new grad school & lab is good, but so unbelievably hectic (...and term hasn't even started yet)

Packed, locked & loaded for the USA migration. Tomorrow I ride forth!

Ah yes, I'd forgotten what it felt like to stalk new uni roommates online...
