[the remedy is the experience]
i'm a stay at home student today. it reminds me of undergrad.
i'm a stay at home student today becuase when i got up this morning i did not have enough hot water pressure for a shower. so i worked on my paper until the office open, which then i called and they came and had it fixed with in the hour. but i stayed home anyways becuase my advisor is out of town and the main thing i had to do today is write a paper, which i did here in my pjs. mmmm. then had dinner with joe (it's his birthday) and ran errands. He brought a bunch of gold fish for his tank. and an algae eater. the guy at petsmart was very very amusing. and i was in a million question mood and learned all about the squawking bird. of course the pet store made me want a cat. but we are definitely waiting until after allergy boy comes and visits. so maybe this summer. currently i really want a cat.
so i went to wal-mart this past saturday. there is not one close to me, but there is one close to the airport, so i went there after i dropped sara and kentie off. i was looking at my receipt and there is something on there for $8 that i cannot figure out what it is. it has a very, very strange description. i am very confused. and it is driving me crazy what it is. i really want to know. but it isn't exactly convient to go by and have them look it up. i just want to know!
my advisor, as mentioned, is in china, and i am basically now done with classes for two weeks. so i think i am going to take next wednesday off and go get my oil changed and go to the walmart out there and have them look it up. so random i tell you.
it is weird to not be busy. this quarter has not been that stressful, but it has been a steady stream of stuff that i need to do. so it is weird to not have anything that should be done. i feel all productive today, so i feel like i am wasting that productivity. oh well. so it goes. next week i am vowing to jump head first into research stuff - i found out this week that the guy who is currently working on my project and who i thought was going to be around for a while is leaving at the end of april. i guess he isn't a grad student. i have not a clue. anyways, it doesn't matter, all that matters is that i only have until then to become an expert is the magnetron sputter. i understand the theory and stuff, but the actual nuts and bolts kinda freaks me out. what if it breaks. i have no idea what to do. it is plasma system. plasma. that is all i have to say. plasma.
