Some marks are up

And I'm feeling relief. 3/4 so far, and if all goes well, I may end up with an 84 this term. That mark may be "ok" or even "bad" for some of you over-achievers out there; Back in the day when I used to get 90s in high school, yeah, I'd call 84 a mediocre grade. But, given that I've had to dig myself out of a pretty dark place, I'm pleased with myself. If it weren't for Philosophy this term, I could probably have gotten an 87 overall.

I've been in the lab during the day since yesterday and I feel like my brain is going to explode. It makes me somewhat glad that I decided not to do Grad studies. I've been working on the poster I'll be presenting at the Canadian Nutritional Society conference in Edmonton this June. I'm still interpreting/analyzing data, and it doesn't help that Microsoft Power Point has been crashing on me all day, so it's taking me longer than I hoped it would. But with any luck I should be done the first draft on Thursday. I need to go home on Friday early because I have to renew my passport and those government offices are never open when it's convenient for normal people, so I've got to plan around that.

I've started watching a show called Californication. I had heard about it ages ago but like most things, I hadn't bothered to delve into it until recently when I was introduced to it. Aside from nudity (but who can really say they don't like nudity?) it's pretty entertaining. The main character is played by the same guy who plays Agent Mulder from X-Files, and he's much more entertaining in this show.

I've always considered myself a hermit of sorts, but I've just gotten so used to hanging around people, that I'm starting to not like being by myself. People have gone home since exams are done... but my cousin will be back next week, so I guess it's not that bad. I guess now would be as good a time as any to visit Chapters and enjoy some leisure reading.
