preemptive measures

Next Saturday, Brett and I will be in Belize. Of course, I'll spend hours basking in the sun on the warm sand. I'll be missing class and research - it might (I'm just guessing) look like I was on vacation if I come back super tanned, which is a problem because winter has taken its ghostly white toll on my skin.

Thus, my obviously brilliant plan is to fake bake once or twice before next Saturday. No one will notice that way, right??

abstract submission deadline

Due to lack of internet in my apartment, I ended up staying at the hospital from 8:30am-12:30am in order to submit the two abstracts online.
"Boat," my 99 silver Taurus, also died the night before and was in the shop. My knight in shining armor and his Civic stead had to wait until I finished and submitted the abstracts to take me home.
It's the party in the CL intern room Tuesday nights:

mom: how did she get my number???

me: ... it was already on my phone.

me: ....

undergrad encore une fois?

email received today: " god you would end up with an MIT nerd you met at a gay club."

as i wrote the title of the post in franglish, the same person started chatting with me in the same dialect: "yes, that is le plan
from le facebook"

= AWESOMENESS. i think the match neon hoop earrings and ballet skirts really bonded us together in france in 2004.

grad school fail #105

one of the trainers at the gym asked to see my new iphone. he started speaking to siri and asked her to play a song. apparently siri plays the songs in order on my itunes.

he started listening and then was confused. the first "songs" on my itunes were from the Woodcock-Johnson assessment testing cd - story recall.

examples from these "songs" include: "Julie likes to catch butterflies. Then she lets them go"

i tried to explain that i had music, and those are for testing children with potential learning disabilities. the more i tried to explain, the more confused he looked, and i just probably should've given up even trying to explain that i'm a normal person that has music on my iphone...
