What is wrong with me?
Twice in the past 2 days I have heard that a couple broke up or is getting divorced and thought "hmm available guy, I wonder if he is for me?". These are not even men I know who I was interested in when they were single- not that it would make it any better!
Good news- third day of no non-gym TV, second day of exercise- went to gym with Sally. I have decided not to dwell on how I am in such poor shape and I used to be so much more fit. I am celebrating getting back to the gym and I know if I want to and work at it, I can be just as fit as I was before. I made a gym date with Sally for next week.
Turns out that I won't be able to start doctoral program in the fall as they are full but the dean does want to meet with me to discuss my options and plans. I tried the office and got a machine, left a message indicating that if I didnt' hear back from them I would try again in a couple of days. My contact at the school told me that they really want to meet with me and that he likes me and my moxie. That made me smile. I have figured out my plans, pretty much, for the fall but I will meet with the dean and he may have some suggestions as well. I have to REALLY research the program before I meet with him. I am not sure if I should have turned down full time research position- I am not sure I want to stay here for school and now I can't even take all the doctoral courses I need anyway. I didnt' need to turn them down to start another doctoral program. I am not sure how many classes will transfer to other schools and I could have finished masters by taking a class over the summer and one night class each semester. Does it really benefit me to finish masters in the fall? will classes transfer? Do I want to stay?
Neurochem prof emailed me back- my paper was late and she deducted more points than she had indicated that she would, although she claims it was less than she was supposed to- there must have been a misunderstanding at some point and I didn't cite sources even though I provided references so I ended up with a 68 on the paper. I can't believe I forgot to cite, I never have before- I guess I shouldn't have written it off of my presentation. I was lazy about it- totally my fault. She did offer me the chance to rewrite it for 5 points. I am not sure if that will get me the A- though. Silly thing is I should have done it right and on time the first time. I got a 92.5 on the final and had 96 on midterm and A and A+ on presentations. I should have gotten an A in this class. I did all of the work in everything else. Why did I slack on this? Email kind of killed my previously relatively unaxious mood.
I spent the time in between gym and now (I must jump in shower before Juliet gets here in 20 minutes) setting up appointments for next week for part-time research position, for lab at school, for movie and for hanging out with friends. I suppose it was a good use of time. I was going to read articles for lab that I had printed out weeks ago but I suppose I can do that tomorrow. Besides gym and VA tomorrow, I should get some reading done, research grad school and organize my room.
