Let's keep this going.

So it's Tuesday again, and here I am again, so maybe this'll work out after all. I'm still in the lab, but it's also still relatively early, so that's good. Class was entertaining today, unfortunately for reasons unrelated to the subject matter though. Life as a whole is pretty darn good at this point. Yesterday I managed to spend about $80 on the way from campus to my apartment. Basically I filled up the gas tank and stocked up on essentials, so it was $80 that I probably won't get a lot of enjoyment out of, but it's necessary stuff. Also, I sent an email to my second rotation professor to figure out what I can expect for breaks (Thanksgiving and Christmas) so I guess we'll see what happens when she responds. My car's been making a weird noise since the weekend before last (somehow I didn't mention that last week) and I got that fixed on Friday (for free under warranty... woohoo!) so that's good. The cat got her stitches out yesterday and she's been her normal self recently, so I guess she's recovered. She holds her right paw off of the ground when she's sitting, but she walks on it, jumps on it, and lets us poke around on it and it doesn't seem to hurt, so I think she's just trying to make us feel guilty. I guess my roommate gave her treats initially after the surgery to make her feel better, so maybe she got conditioned to show 'pain' and get treats. Who knows. Now, after that string of random thoughts, here's upcoming stuff.

Upcoming stuff: next week is the last one in this rotation, then I'm off to rotation #2. At the end of next week I have to give a 15 minute presentation on what I did during this rotation, which might be a bit tough. At this point it's trying to make sure I only put what I need into the presentation... I could probably go on for an hour if I just went through my lab book. This rotation's definitely been a good one, but I do feel ready to move on. The week after next is my second exam in one class (maybe two?), so I'll be brushing up on stuff and studying as time goes on. Hopefully I can avoid the rush of cramming this time. Halloween's Friday. Not sure if I'm doing anything. There's a party on Saturday that one of the guys in the lab is hosting, so that could be cool. I guess we'll see what happens as the week goes on.

Overall, mood is still good and life is following the lead.
