Sometimes it is hard to decide whether to laugh or to cry. On one hand its not all bad news, there is an upside but I still want to cry. Nonetheless, I must put on my happy face ad prepare to act as hostess of the Post-Comprehesive exam party tonight. Best part I didn't even write the comps :) That's is most definitely another upside. Things are looking up already....

Why am I writing an entry when I should be writing my Shakespeare essay? I don’t know what has happened to me! I used to be such a keener, assignments done early that sort of thing. I remember in third year I finished my HIV infection and Chemokines paper a week and a half early. It was a good paper too! Now my essay is due in 6 days and I have not written a word yet! What can I do? I am so unused to writing sentences without numbers or Greek letters. EEK! Where is Mary M. when you need her? I don’t know what to do. I tried to work on my other assignment but my programs won’t open, apparently my data set has eaten up all my storage space. So now I need to request some extra extra storage space. Aieee! What a life.

I realize I can't really code in SAS and I really suck at coding in Splus.
This is a very sad day, I have crazy work to do and I can't get my flippin' function to work
Splus is being an ass
What the hell am I supposed to do now? I should have taken the Epi course, at least I know how to read.

Today, I went to see my Org Prof. about some questions on the assignment. Per chance I noted the name of my Org TA’s and one of them is Dan Fishlock. And then I realized a way to link three Dan’s I know (Fischer, Pollock, and Fishlock) Okay here goes:
Fischer--> did bio and math and I did Physio and Math. We are writing a Calculus textbook together with Kirsten! He also has the Fish sound in his name.
Pollock--> is doing a Masters in Math as well. His last name is also a Fish.
Fishlock--> is my Org TA, lots of equations in Chemistry, just like Math. And has Fish in his last name.
There you have it, FISH and MATH = DAN.
That is my major Brain Wave of the Day!
(hey Ceci, is this kinda like the way that Sets game works?)

These are the forgeries of jealousy:
And never, since the middle summer's spring,
Met we on hill, in dale, forest or mead,
By paved fountain or by rushy brook,
Or in the beached margent of the sea,
To dance our ringlets to the whistling wind,
But with thy brawls thou hast disturb'd our sport.
-Titania, A Midsummer Night’s Dream Act II Scene I
I have changed my essay topic. As bad as this sounds, writing an essay on fornication turned out to be a little more difficult than I had imagined. I shall be discussing sight in my essay and how Shakespeare shows us that sight is not a matter for the eyes alone.
In other news, Ceci and I made banana bread this weekend and it was rather nice. Although I thought it smelt too much like bananas. Next goal is to make zucchini bread! Or muffins. First I shall buy a muffin pan, mayhap it comes with a cute muffin man.
Anyway, SAS is fully operational now and I have begun my research. Now my data is playing head games with me. Can data morph? I ask you that!
