I am wondering if anyone can suggest some funny blogs to me. It could be your own. It could be your sister’s. I would be particularly interested in any blogs written by graduate students, but anything humorous or well-written would do.

Thanks!

Because I am determined to have one of you buy something from my site, I am going to keep posting what I put up in my Etsy store. Okay, that isn’t true. I just want you to see my crafty goodness. Because what else do I do with my time? Grade lab reports for 18 eager students? Analyze data to see if I can graduate? Prepare lectures for the very same 18 eager students that don’t suck ass? Have I ever struck you as an over-achiever?

No, seriously. It is only Tuesday and I feel like I have been following a well-laid plan. I wanted to post something slightly new on Etsy at least 3 days this week. I wanted to get through my presentation yesterday afternoon. I wanted to get my experiments set up and taken care of today. I have two more things on my checklist today and I think that I am moving along just fine. There was a minor set back when my sister and I watched two episodes of Sex in the City instead of me grading papers. And another minor set back when I decided I wanted to talk to my friends in other states instead of grading papers. But you know what? The papers will be graded tonight! GEEZ!

And this Thursday I have dinner plans with my “new” friends. And by “new friends” I mean people I know through Winemonkey and his roommates who I am trying to get to know better because soon I will be living in their town and I don’t know anyone there. And that makes me nervous. But knowing that I will be able to afford movers makes the move seem all that less stressful. Except for the no friends in town part.

That’s right. I am going to be a published writer soon. =)

Not for anything funny, or particularly fun for that matter. In fact, not a single one of you will probably EVER come across it. But the scientific world will become one research paper richer when “Laboratory Study of Simulated Atmospheric Transformations of Chromium in Ultrafine Combustion Aerosol Particles” is out on the news stands.

It is like another big hurdle was just taken care of. And I only have two more to go. Beautiful.

Not only did I run into the ex, but I ran into two other people I normally don’t see out and about ON THE SAME DAY AS THE EX. One, my neighbor driving around in his airporter van and two, a guy who my new employer wanted to “fix me up with” a few months ago. I saw him at a bar I normally never go to. Neither of the two were as traumatizing as seeing the ex though, which is good.

Small world.
