i am so exhausted. i dont know how i will get through the last three weeks of class and exams. i will most likely bitch a lot, snap at everyone, and fidget like mad.
My research presentation went ok except that i think several proffesors were just triping out on their own genious by asking questions that didn't apply to my research and i of course couldn't answer, but whatever. i was the only girl to present anything, and that made me a little annoyed. I am fiercely suspicious of a room full of men trying to belittle a 5', 100lb girl about her knowledge of the sciences. in any case, the proffessor i work for was impressed by my presentation and that's mostly what matters. he'll be the one giving my recomendations and helping me publish papers.
i got a huge check from the government this week in tax refunds. you know, the money that's mine that they held for me all year without paying me interest... i was thinking of buying a digital camera with the money, but since i'm taking out loans, im essentially taking out and extra loan money for it. so i dont know if i'll get it. on my wish list is also a new tatoo, an ipod, and an ibook. i dont need any of these things so i guess i'll just sit and think about it for a while. maybe when i get my checks for participating in a vaccine study i'll have a bit more to work with.
a couple of my friends are going with a group of iowa city women to rally for women's choice in DC this weekend. i want to go and the bus tickets are super cheap, but i think i need a weekend to sit in a quiet space. i went to DC last oct. for a peace rally which was wicked awesome, so im torn about this weekend's choice rally.
i have a research paper due tomorrow so i had better get started on that since its almost 10 already... i shouldn't have taken that nap after dinner. *shrug*
