Somewhere between blah and meh

I, again, am a woeful updater of sorts; one who given ample opportunity to write something, anything, chooses instead to flounder in the world. Like a flounder, floundering in the world.

Anyways, the last few days have had their share of ups and downs. Several fantastic ups, and several eh downs. I'll bitch first, methinks:

1. I have had absolutely no access to the internet after 8 PM for the last like 5 or six days. Very trying. In part because after 8 PM is the time that I use to post anything that might be private. Instead, my dad has been sleeping in the den, and the chair that he sleeps in is like right next to the computer. It has been a little irritating, because normally that doesn't bother me too much. Usually, at some point during the day, I have some time to myself in the house, but that hasn't been the case for over a week.

2. I have this bizarre lump behind my jawbone under my right earlobe. I see three possibilities:
abscess, cancer, or tumor. None of these are high on my list of things to have.

3. I now have a damn wart on my middle finger of my right hand. I guess that's what I get for using it to flip people off when I drive.

4. I have too many things to do work-wise in the next two weeks, in addition to finishing my apps for Boston College, Catholic, and Iowa. By the way, I REALLY want to go to Boston College. I doubt I'll get in, but I would LOVE going there.

Fantastical things:

1. Remember that Thomas Jefferson award I was so blase about two months ago? WELL I WON IT! WOOT! That's like $2000 that I'll be getting, plus a cool plaque, another line on my CV, and a free(ish) lunch in Boulder.

2. I now have 19 cell lines done....one to go!

3. My grad school apps are ALMOST DONE.....

4. I'm not destitute!
