Daydream Believer

So, Wednesday is my thesis defense. I don’t want to make too big a deal out of it, but this is, essentially, the most important day of my graduate career. So, you know, it’s a little thing. I am putting together some notes for tomorrow, but in the meantime, here is what [...]

1. I think my roommate ate the last of my Strawberry Jelly.  Which means instead of a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich like I was PLANNING to have – which was to be my reward for finishing my paper early this morning – I had to have a toasted peanut butter and blackberry preserves [...]
