  Frustration station

  10.15.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  I’m taking a short break from… outline synthesis, we’ll call it… This is my five minutes to whine publically.
  I’m tired, I’m famished, and I’m totally frustrated. How can I spend so much time and have so little to show for it, both in understanding and in actual physical product?
  Props to effective teachers. [...]

  A few weeks ago, Chief and Sarge were placed into a new home. This decision was made after much consideration, mostly painful. On our list of pros and cons, the only pros were that 1. I loved them, and 2. They acted as good Hoovers when Zoe dropped food. As heavily as [...]

  House to myself today

  With Joel at DjangoCon (read: Geek Convention) in California this weekend (I’m insanely jealous; mandatory attendance to anatomy lab won out though), and Gigi and Zoe on a grocery adventure, I have a few hours alllll to myself today. I spent some time making brownies, reading developmental anatomy by the pool, taking pictures of [...]

  I did return to the Metro office, and I did obtain my student discounted Q Card. Now I ride the bus for a mere half dollar per ride, and for every 50 rides, I get five rides free. Huzzah.
  I rode the rail to and from downtown before and after getting my card. [...]

  Transport

  I’m out of tokens for my complex’s shuttle, and on principle I refuse to get more. Its schedule is unpredictable, and my time is at a premium right now.
  I rode the Metro bus yesterday with maximal success. Today, however, I had trouble getting out the gate on foot. Eventually I was able to wedge myself [...]

  Very quickly now because I need to get in bed…
  White Coat Ceremony and my family’s visit were awesome. I’m so SO happy to be where I am right now.
  Retreat was fun. I met many of my classmates and smashed my boobs during the human bowling portion of our version of Olympics. I [...]

  Pre-entry is complete. I feel SO much more ready for school now. I’m kind of in awe that such a program was available to me, and that the past five weeks went by so quickly. The gears in my head are now turning. Props to Rachel and to my tank group [...]

  Tomorrow the pre-entry program begins! My Mom arrived this afternoon, the house is unpacked with mostly everything in its place, and I think I have the details worked out to get to school in the morning.
  I would say that I hope I’m doing the right thing, but I am more confident than that. [...]

  Did I stutter?!

  After the unpacking (which is still not entirely finished) comes the more intangible part of settling into our new place.
  This is a long one, y’all. If you want to skip the long-winded, Blake-centered ranting and go straight to the cute video of Zoe manipulating the iPhone, please be my guest.

  I am very seriously obsessed with Zoe. Nightly I find myself on Flickr, pouring over her current and older photos, wondering how in the world she is so perfect.
  Tonight it was just what I needed after a major home decor fail. Who cares about stupid shelves when there’s a Zoe in the world?
