ongoing sleepfail

Jet lag is a being a motherfucker this time. Maybe I'm just TOO EXCITED about playing with microscopes every day? It really is incredibly awesome. (Possibly my "sugar before bedtime" strategy failed; well, I thought the pastries during coffee break were knocking me out during lectures, so it seemed like trying for a crash was worthwhile. Sugar by itself might have been more effective than chocolate, though. I blame my uterus.)

Also, the food providers continue to be out of control in their kindness. Today was Italian for dinner, so I asked a day in advance if there'd be anything non-tomatoey so I could make a sandwich at lunch. No! they will have something made for me. Um, okay, thank you very much... Dinner arrived tonight and not only was there an entire non-tomato pasta dish, which was ideal and really all I wanted, but they were concerned that I might feel deprived by the vegetarian nature of that dish and had the caterer save me some pre-tomato-sauce ground beef too.
