Marked down for the holidays
I'm gradumatating in 39 days. I'm not actually going, though, so I'll just have to cordially present myself with my diploma later, when I receive it in the mail. Also, it turns out I now need to go shopping for a new wardrobe of nice, business casual clothes for a new job. Anybody who knows anything about me will understand how terrifying that is. In better news, I found a lovely pair of jeans for $30 dollars, and then hell froze over.
Joel asked me what I would do if we ever lived somewhere that didn't have the Food Network or BBC America. I pondered it for a moment, and realized something kind of sad: which basic cable stations are available will play a large part in where I decide to live in my life. Pathetic, but true.

Thanks for lowering my red blood count, MDS.
I survived my very first medical study! Aside from the isolation, crappy food, limited internet access, creepy weird people, fifteen bazillion million blood draws, nineteen million gagillion glucose tests, and all or at least most of my urine ending up in various tiny cups, it wasn't too bad. Oh, they put my first IV in incorrectly and the experimental medication started infiltrating into my arm. ROCK ON! Now I eagerly await my $3,000 bucks and hopefully don't die from late-term side effects. Cool.
