summing up
Dec. 13th, 2006 09:19 pmBio project (knitted cell membranes) all done and presented. Kind of a success, kind of seemed to intimidate people. Other fun projects included a stop-motion animation on protein misfolding as expressed by Lego minifigs, G.I. Joe dolls, and Alien figurines.
Exams and finals over with. Went pretty okay. Cumulative GPA will probably go down a little, as it was a hard quarter, but I don't think I've disgraced myself or anything. (avert!)
Cramps still seem to be largely vanquished by Chinese 6-flavor rehmannia pills. Dude. Had a couple of pretty bad hours today, but not maximally bad, and compared to the usual it's still like sunbeams and bunnies and chirping birds.
Ongoing doom of trying to eat Ethiopian food: Planned to go last Weds but Wim was tired. Planned to go last Fri but something else was up, I don't remember what. Went Monday to the place of marvelous food and impossibly chaotic service; they had NO INJERA. Tried to go to Cuban-fusion place I'm interested in; they are closed Mondays. Eventually got Thai food, some very good salmon, but I still want Ethiopian.
The holiday doom in which I have something to do every day is approaching. SAD girl not so functional with extra doom. Needs to use light box more.
I'm writing a program to pick names for Xmas presents within my family and email them out without anyone having to know anyone else's selection, which I think I can finish tomorrow.
Eking out the last bits of Fruits Basket. (Conveniently, I haven't seen a summary up yet for the last chapter.)
Lab stuff should be easier next quarter, with fewer projects to juggle and more time to work in. Feeling ambivalent about grad school; my latest dippy problem is that I've now waited too long to ask people for recommendations, so clearly I can't do it at all. Point and laugh therapeutically, if you would.
Reading: lots.
Watching: Fullmetal Alchemist.
Knitting: Scarf, bee stitch, Moda Dea Cartwheel, raspberries colorway, size 13 needles; several secret socks.
Quilting: More productive if rotary cutter were found.
Playing: Okami again.
