I am totally jazzed about my trip to Italy. It's quickly approaching, and while there is a lot to do in the meantime, both in preparation for the trip and work I need to get done before I go, it has put me in a much better mood than I otherwise might be. Susie and I have figured out our schedule and have started booking hostels. I've also got my passport (look out world, here I come!), traveller's cheques, and a brand new, amazing digital camera.
As for everything else - things are going pretty well. Am basically done with my TA class - just need to proctor their exam on Monday and then meet with Paul, Kena, and Sora on Tuesday to discuss grades for the students. My classes are almost done as well - a final on Wednesday and a paper to turn in sometime next week (even the profs didn't know when it was due...). And then all that's left is to do as many mass spec runs as I can before my trip. Speaking of which, I've done 4 so far, including the one I did yesterday. I have one scheduled for Monday, and might schedule one for Tuesday and one for Thursday. Haven't quite decided yet.
Tomorrow is also exciting because I'm going to visit Angie in Berkeley. I haven't seen her in quite a while and still owe her for her birthday. We're going to dinner and seeing Paprika (which looks really cool, even though I'm not sure what it's even about).
Oh, and yesterday I went to the EPS Picnic and Susie came with me. It was pretty hilarious, it seemed like everytime I pointed out somebody that she'd heard about but never met, she would say - Oh, that's definitely not how I pictured them... Well, now she's seen pretty much every0ne, so there won't be any surprises. I had a pretty good time, but true to my personality was not as social as I could have been. Basically talked to a few people, clung to Susie, and played with Ike (Paul's german shepard).
Also... have been baking a pretty insane amount lately. Made gingersnaps and chocolate chip cookies on Monday (about five or six dozen cookies) and then made more gingersnaps and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies on Thursday. People seemed to enjoy them - I hope so. :)
Anyway... back to studying.
