tylikIf one gets in the habit of discussing the weather in terms of degrees K, one is somewhat likely to use this terminology when talking to one's mother. Oops. (Actually, once I explained what I was not making sense about, my mother's response is "So, that's like Centigrade, except that it starts at absolute zero and freezing is what, 270?" which is pretty good.) I'm *trying* to get so that I'm equally comfortable in all three scales, as opposed to having them be context specific. (Ask me why I only can remember the body temperature of a cow in Kelvin.)
My neuroanatomy grade was finally posted. It is what I expected (B). This makes me quite happy, as I was starting to fear that Dr. F was sitting on my grade and was intending to have me do some extra project for it. (She made some comment along the lines of "I'll be talking to you." As I left the first final. It sounded just generally friendly, but I get paranoid when the semester has been over for a month and my grade has not been posted.)
Okay, a B isn't anything to crow over, except considering how badly I blew the one exam when I was ill, and how much time I don't have to take on more project right now... I'm pretty pleased. I've also found myself increasingly pleased with the course once I got done freaking out about it. It's of great amusement value to me the extent to which in my other neuro classes they need only name something and a Full-Color Diagram of the Circuit appears in my head (okay, I aced the circuitry questions even when I was miserable). I swear, I'm even remembering names, which are generally my weakest point, better now than when I was taking the class.
Mostly not sick. Things (like stairs) still take more effort than they should, but training made me feel more energetic today, and I've made it through my mid-day lull without feeling like I needed a nap. (Yesterday I wanted to curl up and ink. And then I tried to talk to my professor about MD simulations of ion channels under electrical fields which is not something to try when incoherent.)
It's all warm. Like in the 280's for most of the day. The warm is kind of nice, except for the mud, and for the apartment being way too fricking warm at night. (It's a perfectly reasonable temperature when I'm not trying to sleep.)
Getting caught up. Handed in a draft of the poster abstract. It sucked, but the feedback was useful and it might even turn into something real tonight. I've mostly made up for the time I lost to being sick.
