It's been a while

For which I apologize. Internet access has become spastic, what with the whole trouble of going and using the neighbors' wireless, and before that was final exams. On the bright side, I have all of January to relax (when I'm not in rehearsal, that is). I have to say, whoever thought of creating a program in which students take one class for an entire month is a hero.

So for the month of January I will be acting in a production of Much Ado About Nothing, and in my off hours (anytime not between 9-5 on a weekday) I will be reading, sleeping, snowshoeing, eating, etc. And possibly blogging.

The year is nearly over. Yay. I wonder how long it will be before I remember to put 09 at the end of all my dates. I seem to recall listing some achievements at the end of last year. It's past midnight, and I don't have the energy to do that this year.

So I'll just say that my New Year's Resolution (all caps for emphasis) is to Do Better. More emphasis.

And more later. Now, bed.

Blech

If anyone wants to know anything about the history of Sparta, I'm your guy. Especially if you want to know about the Battle of Leuctra. Something about writing a ten page research paper causes a sort of revelation around the sixth page: I'm freaking tired of writing about this! Ah well. At least I'm done. In a week I'll be home, and shortly after that I will be playing with a kitten. Which makes me happy. All that lies between now and then are four finals...Italian, then Spartan History, both Friday. Then a day off (Saturday! Fun!), then Bacteriology on Sunday and O-Chem on Monday.

Also, I think I'll be doing research in the bacteriology lab here. By which I mean at some point, I will join the lab, but probably not for another semester or so. Which will be fun. It will probably involve biofilms, which is ironic, because the first epidemiology reading I ever did involved Legionnaires' Disease. I'm not linking; you can look it up on your own.

Shout out to my dad! Assuming you read this on Tuesday, Happy Birthday! Your present will make it home, even if I'm not sure yet on how.

The temperature outside is close to zero. Wednesday the high is supposed to be above 50. I have no idea what the heck is up with that. My room right now is warm enough that I can sleep comfortably without a comforter, which strikes me as ironic considering my complete lack of heating for much of last winter. A happy medium is apparently unattainable.

I swore to myself that I'd be in bed before midnight...and it is now past 2:30. Whoops. I'd love to say that it was time well spent...but I can't. Oh well. Also, check this out. My inner geek revealed...it's a long story, but every so often I contribute a guest post to the blog. Finally, if you haven't seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog yet, you should get on that. The DVD comes out soon, with musical commentary track. Whee!

Dan out (like a light).

I'm Famous!

But apparently it's not a good thing.
