only pretty on the outside, full of nails on the inside

Last week was not a good week for me mentally and motivation-wise. First Monday happened (my arm is pretty much better at this point but my knees still hurt when I put pressure on them). Then on Thursday I messed something up with my experiment timing by walking into the lab 5 minutes too late to re-set something. Then I might have just skipped Friday entirely due to lack of motivation. Sigh. I just had a lot of grading and it's getting colder outside and blah.

This weekend was good though. Mostly because I went to Trader Joe's and bought lots of delicious food, then there was a superhero movie marathon. HI I REALLY LIKE THE IRON MAN MOVIES. ALSO, SUPERHEROES YAY. CAN IT BE MAY NOW?! Avengersssss. *__*

This week is better? I met the dude who does general animal room maintenance yesterday. He was really cool! We chatted while I was doing my own work. He apparently owns a bunch of birds and sells the feathers to a local hairdresser; he complimented me on the feather earrings I was wearing yesterday. :D Um, then I changed the timing on my experiment today (finally!) and all was well.

So yes, that is my update. Next week I am going to brave finding my way around Harvard to attend a screening of the Piled Higher & Deeper (PHD comics!) movie. The trailer looks great, so I am excited to see it. :D There are screenings pretty much everywhere, so you should all look it up.

OH ALSO I AM MEETING PANIC AT THE DISCO ON SATURDAY AND I MIGHT BE FREAKING OUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT.
