Summerish Days (With Snow)

Summer's in full swing, and has been for a week and a half now (at least for me). Quick outline of the summer thus far:

- Watched everybody leave on Saturday (the 7th).

- Started packing, but only half-heartedly.

- Started work full time last Monday (the 9th).

- Then it rained (the 10th).

- Then it snowed (the 11th).

- Then it kept snowing (still the 11th) until I almost got stuck in the middle of the road trying to get back up to my dorm. Eight inches later, it finally stopped.

- That was also my birthday, which was a lot of fun. My boss bought us supper that night (which was an entirely unexpected surprise, and very nice of her).

- Made it as far as Mitchell on Friday night (the 13th).

- Home on Saturday morning (the 14th). My sister made it home a few hours later.

- Lots of good food and lots of people on Saturday.

- Sunday it was church, some lunch, and then back on the road, bound for good ol' RC again.

- Yeah, that was what the last post was about. The deer was the event for the afternoon.

- Monday it was back to work, then out with a few people until later than we intended.

- And now it's Tuesday and I'm on my lunch break. Yup.

There it is -- my summer so far in bulleted list form.

All the same, I need to eat something before I lose my mind. Have a good week, everybody, and please -- send me topics!

**The well of sarcasm has run dry for the day. Better luck next time.**

Perfect

Biochemistry brings strange revelations. All right, so I'm not one for smooth transitions. It's been another week for reflection and whatnot, and that includes while I'm in class. Have you ever taken a look back at yourself and realized how completely and totally different you are now than you were X number of years ago? I guess I'm thinking specifically of my college-aged readers ... Take, for instance, you in high school versus you now. I know I've changed; I look roughly the same, but just about everything else is different, especially my thought processes. I am a Christian scientist. Well, Christian engineer (this semester, more scientist some days). Those two sides don't always get along very well. But today, in biochemistry, the intricacy of the glycolysis pathway hit me and my "inner response" was something like, "Holy cow." Okay, so maybe that last sentence didn't make much sense to anyone but me. Let me rephrase. We were

SWG2L: Party Of One

Jonah Hill, continuing to make Jason Segal uncomfortable. (Universal Pictures) Matthew the Waiter: Hey, how's it going? Peter Bretter: Hey, I'd like to grab some dinner, please. Matthew: Okay, great. Is your wife gonna meet you? Peter: No. Matthew: Your girlfriend? Peter: No, I don't have a girlfriend, so... Matthew: [confused] You're just by yourself? Peter: Yeah. Matthew: Sucks. Okay, so just one. Here's your wine list, your menu, come on. You want, like, a magazine or something? It's gonna be boring if you're just sitting by yourself. Peter: No, I'll be alright. Thank you. Matthew: I would just be so depressed. ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Yeah, that's right. I just quoted that . I swear, it's relevant.) I had coffee with one of my single friends a few weeks back and we got onto the topic of "Things To Do When You're Single." More accurately, we were talking about things that should be experienced and one

Falling Asleep In The Lab

That title is misleading. Usually when I use a title like that, it implies that it has actually happened. I haven't fallen asleep in the lab. That would be the ultimate in nerdy. I am, however, zoning out in the lab. I'm as good as unconscious. So much to do, so much time spent on a computer. Despite my "week off," I feel as though I've accomplished nothing. This isn't really true -- I have the homework assignments to prove it -- but there's something about hours of typing that boil down to 10 pages of veritable crap to make you feel as though you haven't really done anything. That and the fact that most of your blood has pooled in your lower body due to lack of physical activity. Egads. So ... How's it going? Life is okay here. Pretty uneventful. Homework, regular work, etc. etc. Very much unlike last week, but that's not a bad thing. I could use a good six months before another Week like last week. This week's major event is
