  1. Trying to get this thesis proposal in shape for the big time... Oy!

  2. Reading, reading, reading. But hey, I passed comps! I have an MS now!

  3. Would you self-cite your own work?

  4. Time to chop all my hair off again.

      I hope your cut ends up nicer than mine! (donated my hair and hate the cut the stylist gave me... So growing it back out again)

  5. Successfully defended my thesis this past Monday with no edits required by my committee. Now I just need the graduate school's approval.

  6. I find it absolutely asinine that I am required to take a statistics course taught and tested in a programming language that I will never ever use. I'd rather have a C in the class and use my free time to learn a useful skill.

      Most of us have to take graduate courses that are useless (or seem to be). *shrug*

  7. I'll be presenting at my first international conference in 7 days. Holy bleep!

  8. Seventeen days left before spring semester begins. Making the most of it.

      Enjoy the rest of your break. We start tomorrow.

  9. Our youngest cat (2.5 years) is dying of FIP. Going to be so hard to go back to class Monday. I'm going to be afraid every night that I'll come home and she'll be gone, without us there to keep her company during her last hours. Oh, and I hit my head again while still not recovered from my previous concussion. Things are obviously not good right now.

      Thanks all. We're hoping we know when it's time to let her go. She currently is behaving normally, just with less energy than usual, so we hope she's not in pain or uncomfortable. All my precious cats have died of old age (18 to 20 years of age) so I've never had to deal with losing one so young.

  11. I can't believe spring semester starts on Tuesday. Break was not nearly long enough. Not even close.

  12. I'm drowning in reading. I figured taking 7 classes would be a challenge, but it is HARD to keep everything straight.

      7? We are required to take 5, but have no research obligations this first semester.

  13. I'm so bored right now. My classes are easy and I can't start research because of field work timing constraints. I just want something to do.

      Cook, bake, clean, organize, read, go for a walk, run, bike ride... so many possibilities!

  14. Dealing with a stressed out dog after my move from the suburbs to the busy downtown coastal lifestyle :(. Help?

      I know for cats there is Feliway - pheromones which help with moves, stress, etc. maybe there is something similar for dogs?

      Very cool! I need to buy one this week, so I can have hot, healthy meals ready for my husband and I when we get home from our commute.
