rebeccmeister1. I got to row my single this morning. Swoon! It was GREAT. I mean, the rowing probably wasn't perfect, but having the chance to get out there was so helpful right now.
2. I am going to undertake another overly ambitious brevet tomorrow. I am rather nervous about it but am going to try and set aside my fears to just go for it. It's going to make Sunday's graduation ceremony interesting, as I graduate college for the 9th time (lol).
3. I'm a little annoyed at work right now, but hear me out on why. This week is Senior Week, so I got all my grades turned in and harassed all the bicycling students to get their bicycles returned (they *mostly* did, I just have to go retrieve one bike off a rack, and I'll have to order new bike lock keys for 3 locks, lolsigh). Anyway, next week there are two conflicting/overlapping faculty workshops, and that's the thing I'm most annoyed at. Yes, faculty development workshops are a good idea, but why, college, do you keep stealing my precious summer research days?? Why??
I'll get over it, but I have to whine at least a little.
4. In part due to item #3 I've been working pretty hard to get things done in the interstitial spaces. I have had two projects going over the past year that involve measuring ant heads, and thank goodness, today I got the last ant heads done for one of the two projects. Too bad it's the easier of the two! But incremental forward progress is still forward progress, as I tell my research students.
Anyway, on that note, I'd better get back to preparations for tomorrow's bike ride...The best attitude to adopt, of course, is the Zen attitude of living in the moment, accepting whatever winds up happening. Easier said than done sometimes.
