so i’m sitting in my little room across from the men’s bathroom and the happiest papa smurf person just walked down the hallway, singing "i don’t know, i don’t know, la, la, la" into the bathroom, singing loudly in the bathroom, then walked out, singing his "i don’t know song" all the way back down the hall. when i first started my phd, i had this really cushy "penthouse" room on the fifth floor with a window, overlooking farm lane…but in my 2 years now across from the bathroom, with all of the things i see and hear, i can tell you it’s surely a lot more entertaining!

Sometimes it takes working an a public space to realize how much you talk out loud to yourself…
Back from Minot, ND
Well, Minot is far away :) Landing at Metro was not fun…luckily I had a nice guy sitting next to me so I could chatter as we were going up, down, back, forth, round and round trying to land with 50mph winds…slightly nerve-racking. I already miss my Anna (and her parents.) New pictures in the Anna and Aidan photo album. Back to work on the practicum (defending on Dec 6th!), Spencer mini grant proposal (due Monday!) and other assorted tasks.
