You know those days that turn out differently than expected?

Yeah. This was one of those days. I'm tired from biking yesterday and from staying out past my bedtime. Silly Rebecca. But in any case, with everything I got done last week, I've managed to basically increase the length of my work-to-do list. So when I got to school this morning, I was a wee bit overwhelmed. However, my advisor and I were able to sit down for a few minutes and actually get some stuff done, and that felt like an accomplishment. We also talked a bit about the Manuscript of Doom II: The Sequel, and although I didn't get a whole lot done on it, I feel like I accomplished at least a little bit by talking about it with her. It was also kind of nice to hear about her overwhelming to-do list and know I wasn't the only one whose plate overfloweth (to use her expression). This is really one of the tricks of grad school, learning how to manage a huge list of things without a whole lot of structure to help with the management process.

Tonight I made pasta with beet greens, per annikusrex 's recommendation. It was delicious. Oh, and I made some shortbread as well.

And with that, it's time to get back to work.
