soundtrak: silence
i don't usually write on saturdays because usually i'm at church, probably doing something. but i don't know what happened today. i started feeling rather sick this morning, starting with a migrane than just turned into exhaustion. i don't know if i could say i've been exhausted lately, but i guess 'it' caught up with me.
anyways, this week was a mix of good and bad. on monday, somebody scratched my car from end to end... and at work of all places (crazy scientists!). i talked with work campus police to try to see if anything could be done about it, but apparently the spot where i parked (in the garage) is not in the views of the cameras they have posted. i'm still kind of pissed about that. add the fact that none of my experiments were trying to work this week and you have one pissed lady. i tried to work on my proposal some more and then do these punnet squares for the double knockout mouse that we're trying to breed, that i had to present during lab meeting. i was rather reluctant to do so, but i was glad i did because my boss and the biologist realized that they crossed the wrong type of mouse and i would have spent a whole summer trying to figure out why i wasn't getting any double knockouts. that would have been tragic. we stopped the breeding immediately.
so i guess i was feeling good when i left work on friday... until i hit that bird on the way home. it was horrible. you know, sometimes birds just fly in the path of cars, but they always seem to miss the windshield. not this one, who hit my windshield with a sickening 'thump' and then proceed to fly off the back end of the car and land on the ground (from what i could see from the backview mirror). of course, there was a car behind me and i honestly don't want to know what happened after that. i've never been so traumatized.
other highlights this week:
- i was working early thursday morning, listening to my ipod on random when the song: daft punk: 'something about us' came up. i smiled and instantly thought of new B, who i sent an email to. it was just a great moment to reflect and smile. umbc: good times.
- dad left for kenya on wednesday so i thought it would be a good idea to take him out for father's day since he wouldn't be here. however, it was not my idea to pay for the entire dinner, to which both my mooching brothers ordered appetizers and dessert. you see, who is the one that truly cares: *chi points to herself* alrighty.
i think it would be safe to say that i am a loner. not to be confused with the fact that when i go out, i like to go with people. cos i do and i rarely go out if i don't have anybody to go with. but i like to spend massive quantities of time by myself. i think mom was asking me why the other day and i just started to think about it. i don't know really. there's something calming about just being alone. i also have this thing about personal space, but let me not get started on that one. i am a strange woman indeed.
anyways. off to more sleep... you can never have enough sleep (at least i can't!).
peace.
