So years ago I stopped making New Year’s Resolutions. I figured that waiting until the new year to come up with grandiose ideas about changing your life where were doomed to fail was a rather stupid way to live. However, I did decide it was a good idea to have life goals, and each new [...]

Well, it’s over. One week ago tomorrow my thesis was due. Did I make it? No. Was it anything having to do with me? No again. Let me tell you what has been going on: For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been massively, massively stressed since around June, when I realized that I [...]
My thesis is due. In 20 days. We’re not talking due to my advisor for sign off…no. It’s due to the department, ready for binding, with all three of my committee member signatures on it, all spelling errors fixed, and printed on super expensive paper. 20 days from today. I gave my advisor a copy [...]
For those of you who don’t know, we’re trying to get pregnant. (See EVERY other blog I’ve written for more details). Now, after reading all that background blogging, you should know we’ve had a bit of a hard and painful time accomplishing this goal. I’m not complaining…well, I am complaining, loudly and at length, it’s [...]

Apparently, when you open a lab here at San Jose State, they tell you to list all the equipment you’re gonna need for the lab. Of course, [...]

All the way up to the 6th floor? Well, almost the 6th floor. Did you know a bouncing elevator bounces more the further [...]
So it begins again. This time I think I’ll give you a day-by-day account of this cycle’s treatment. If you’re interested, keep reading! And check back often! If not, wait a while and I’ll eventually write about something else. My next blog will be about books. Carry on. Day 1 (Monday, March 13) So I [...]
So when Dean and I got married we did that “so do you wanna have kids?” talk that most couples do. The answer for us was yes, just later. Well, suddenly later became now. I actually remember the moment–we were in Virginia visiting Dean’s family and talking about that “someday” we had mentioned 3 years [...]
