STL is its own little world. it pretty well seceded a while back.

My favorite part of STL is that art museum... It's beautiful in moonlight.

I like KCMO. It's a small funky city with a great sky line. I'm comfortable in it. Unfortunately, it seems to be empty. When I first moved here, I was like, "okay, where are the people in this city?" 😕 :laugh:

you skip the opportunity to pwn me right back and point out I've lived here for 15 years and that's a little longer than "passing through" entails?


med sk00l has killed your snark. I am so sad now. 🙁

I'm not so sure about yours though since you seem to have forgotten that this is my second infraction and that my tab is really up to $200....

Random news from my basement:
Apparently I should change the filter more often on the furnace. 😳 :barf:

Upon taking the load of blacks (not darks, blacks) out of the dryer, I counted 6 pairs of black pants. There are 2 more still hanging in the closet. Methinks I need to work on the idea of "simplify". 😳

And from the grocery store, earlier today:
Edy's has out their seasonal ice cream flavors: Peppermint :biglove: , Pumpkin :biglove: , and Apple Pie 😍

On the other end of the spectrum, I have a closet full of dress shirts and other nice clothing, but all I ever seem to wear these days are scrubs.

Well, I'll be up for another 2 hours - a romantic date with Orgo.:laugh:


I'm calling our chem department chair tomorrow to discuss the possibility of doing a research course this spring. He said they do have a few different opportunities, so I hope to find something I like. I described my "dream project" to him (clinical toxicology-related), so maybe he can hook me up with something that's somewhat similar - or maybe he has something that's even better.

:laugh: I had a dream last night that I got an acceptance from Calgary 3 days after submitting my app - no interview, nothing. I was like, "Uh, shouldn't I be interviewed first, and don't I have to wait till February for my invite?" They were like "Oh, you are such a stellar applicant, and we heard you could end up going to the US, so we just wanted to snag you as soon as possible..."

I was like, "FINE, I'll think about your offer.😎" :laugh:


Too bad it was just a dream.🙁 :laugh:

The morning went well, unfortunately, my unknown was motile... lol.. so I started a tryptone broth and will make the final call on it (E coli or enterobacter) on monday.

Headed to the country in about 1.5 hrs... Going to a high school football game with my sister (my brother in law's team) and staying the night with them. Sometimes getting away from the city is just the break I need. 👍

First, I must plow through a bit more of this physics paper... 👎

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream...

Home from my too-short sabbatical to the country and it was wonderful! My brother-in-law's team won again, which puts them with only 1 loss on the season (and a pre-conference game) so we may be going all the way to state again. 👍

It was definitely an experience.. ran over a smiling opossum and an armadillo on the way back to my sister's after the game... gotta love country roads.

Now I commence to sitting my butt on the couch for the remainder of the weekend. And if I get REAL adventurous, maybe doing a chemistry lab and/or finishing that physics paper.

Yeah, I'm looking foward to those two breaks as well... Not much going on in my 'hood. It's a beautiful fall day, after a rain storm. The air is clear and crisp. I just got back from jogging two miles. I'm recommiting to regular exercise.

I had a tough exam at the beginning of this week. I thought I had done badly, but as it turned out, I did pretty well relative to the mean. I guess all those late nights spent studying paid off...but I still feel like I didn't learn much and did well mostly through luck.

After the test, I got pretty lazy. I haven't been too productive thus far. Man, our academic schedule is intense; more logical breaks need to be factored in. The pressure is constant. 🙁

wow, excellent job on the 2 mi run! i'm impressed. 🙂 i used to be a runner when i was younger, but i just can't do it anymore (hurts my knees). so instead i figure skate, "jog" on the elliptical machine, dance, etc.

i feel you on the crazy academic schedule. we have our next set of exams (4 of them) over a week and a day (monday to monday), and then we start up the next block on tuesday (not even a 1 day break). ugh, not looking forward to that

anywho, hang in there...it's ok to take a mental break for a few days after an exam. you'll get back into the swing of things.
