Wowza. I had an awesome day today. For a little bit of time I felt like a human being with a life! Holy wow!
I spent the morning/early afternoon with Eien-chan, which was a balm in and of itself. I haven't see him in, oh, three weeks or so? That was wonderfully nice. Then later we went over to my cousin's house to spend time with my family. That was insanely awesome. We talked and I watched my cousins play Guitar Hero and we had a good guffaw over the sheer wretchedness of some of the lab reports I was grading (because I can't completely disconnect from school). We had delicious food and awesomely delicious cake and it was wonderful. I think I laughed harder and longer today than I have in a month.
Although there's a part of me that's guilting me over the fact that I didn't do a ton of work today. I still have 30+ lab reports to grade, a lab to teach on Tuesday, a project to edit, and a term paper that I've barely begun writing that I'll need to give a preliminary presentation on in a couple of weeks. Sigh.
Well, now to read a paper on plant hormones so I can write up a reading response. Haaaaaate the reading responses. It's hard to write intelligently on a paper where half the text is indecipherable three-letter acronyms - LRR, BRI, BAK, BIN. I have no clue what they mean.
