one more miracle

I feel like I should defend my professor's honor here! I was stung a little last night, but it wasn't right of me to complain. He had the best intentions. We had a chat about it today, and he explained that he had basically no time so it was a lot faster for him to just WRITE instead of trying to pick apart my sentences and tweak them. He just thought it would be a good opportunity for us to communicate about how we go about writing things, a sort of give and take, and that he really liked what I had but thought it would be a good exercise to go for conciseness and a good story. (He likes telling stories in science, which is really what it should all be about!)

SO I'm glad we got that cleared up! I no longer feel butthurt and everything is dandy. He did give me a shitload of sciencey things to think about today, including what exactly I want to say with my first paper since we have data that's publishable and just need to add more to it to say something meaningful. Wow! Eep! So I'm going to, like, hole up in a little room and bang my head off this for a while and see if anything comes out. It's kind of terrifying to be the one actually thinking of the science and the conclusions, but I guess that's what getting your PhD is all about? *flails a little bit*

Today, I feel intimidated. But I can do this. I know I can.

(SUPERNATURAL PREMIERE WAS AMAZING LAST NIGHT HOLY SHIT. I will make a post later, because THINGS TO SAY, but I am At Work and therefore being responsible! BUT AMAZING HOLY SHIT. *squeezes all their woobie faces*)

(Random question: Would anyone be interested in me uploading the soundtrack to The Boondock Saints? It was never released officially, but I have all the songs that are played in the film. It's mostly instrumental rock but it's awesome and fun and I think everyone should have it. So let me know if there's interest and I'll upload!)
