Man, this week sucked. My rent check finally went through for May, and now my bank account is making sad lonely faces at me. And my stupid thesis is due, for that stupid fellowship I didn't want, and I haven't finished the data analysis of the last assay I didn't want to do.

I guess, as usual, I don't really have anything to post about. But I've been toying with the idea of taking up writing again... so I'm trying to discipline myself, and see if I can really, actually, write every day for a while. My poor paper journal is lucky to get updated twice a month. I'm going to get better about this! I swear!

Ann and I took the techniques class at the climbing gym today, so hopefully my climbing will improve now. I've been struggling at the 5.10b/c level for a couple weeks, and I want to move past that and start to challenge the boys. I got halfway up a 10c yesterday, and finally gave up because my arms were so exhausted. I want to build up enough strength and skill to best Stephane and Neal. Stephane did half an 11c yesterday before giving up. Must... beat... boys!

I still haven't had a chance to look for housing in New Haven... and people are starting to ask me about my exact plans for summer. Ack! I don't have any! I don't know exactly what I'm doing after graduation, or exactly when I'm moving to Connecticut, or what kind of car I'll buy or how I'm going to pay for it or exactly which dates I'll be in Texas in August...

I have a research paper due on Tuesday that I haven't started, so I guess I better go work on that. At least, if I want to get both that and my thesis done this week. *sigh*

Happy Mother's Day!

I forgot. I have a French paper due tomorrow. I think I wrote a paper in French once in high school. I don't remember how long it was, but I remember it being easier than this. Three hundred words never seemed like so many.

So much for working on my research paper. That thing isn't due until Tuesday morning. For the last two hours I've been trying to figure out which tenses I should be using and whether or not I could even write three hundred words on this topic in English.
