Had my birthday party yesterday, it was pretty rad. We got trashed and I blew out some candles and ate cake and more events. Then I went to bed with my good friend Courtney and woke up a little while later and we were having make-outs? When she left (sober), we kissed goodbye. I don't know how this is going to play out, but damn I think that was one of my better birthdays, haha.

Fuck I love doing charity things. It is amazingly fun. I'm dying to know how much money we made. God. We're doing a raffle, and because of how many people we had coming in we had to push it back an hour. We went though 4 rolls of tickets. Its amazing. The raffle is going on now, and I'm outside smoking, and so many people are coming up to me and thanking me for all the work I've done. Like even without the thanks I still love this. Just knowing that I'm helping out is amazing. Doing all of this work is great. I'm super excited.

It's Sleeping with the Enemy and it turns out it may not have been wiped after all, it might just be that VCRs have zones like DVDs (I was not aware of this), so I could be ok if I visit the US again.

It's after midnight and my friend is coming over tomorrow at 8 friggin am. Whilst I'm glad she's coming, that's SO EARLY. I mean, in order for me to be up and dressed and not trying to feed cats and stuff around her, I will have to get up earlier than I got up for college. What the hell, man? It is the holidays!

I'm only partly joking.

Oh, it's terrible. I hate it, but I want to get a PhD from the best optics school in the country, and they accidentally let me in. I'm waiting for the notice to come in the mail:

Dear Mr. Bassist,
We've just realized that you're actually a moron. Why are you here? Don't come back.

Sincerely,
University of Rochester

p.s. Really excited about the Grand Prix in Valencia tomorrow. McLaren seem to have a competitive car, which should make things a bit more interesting, though I do expect them to be running way far ahead unless Hamilton or Kovalainen stuffs is stupid and stuffs it, which is fairly probable. Hopefully it'll be close.

When you get here, I will show you where the good eats are, and the good bars, and the good tunes.

Dude, enjoy it while it lasts. These days, I wish I had more time to keep myself in shape. I also wish I'd done more to be active when I was younger, because my joints didn't develop to take the kind of abuse that they need to be able to take in order to keep myself in shape.

so we are getting evicted this Sunday and as a result I am spending my day off shovelling an inch of mattress foam off the ground underneath our house. I don't know how it got there, ever since I moved in the downstairs area has been completely covered in this shit, and it has apparently been that way for a long time, but it all has to go if we are going to get our bond back.

Also for some reason it is swelteringly hot today despite the fact that it is still winter.

Who does qualifying exams in January? I've done lab work, and it's frustrating, but not nearly as stressful, nor as time-consuming as studying for this godawful test (14 fucking subjects! 14!)

Reed · « **Reply #1488 on:** 24 Aug 2009, 11:00 »

I don't know, they just have us take them in the january of our second year. The idea is that they give us the entire winter break off from lab work (5 weeks for us). While technically there were only 9 subjects on mine, a lot of them were things like "General Microbiology" which meant that the professors could ask us any question they damn well please.

And just wait until you have only a few months before your lab needs to submit 2 grants, one of which is going to be based about 50% on data you need to produce, and the other about 80%. It sucks.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #1489 on:** 24 Aug 2009, 11:02 »

Oh, the adviser I'm working for doesn't need grants to operate. It's pretty awesome. I get paid by a fellowship (he gets fellowships to support three students) and his budget comes out of the larger lab. The only thing we might have to do is sometimes build some stuff that the LLE (lab for laser energetics) needs, but usually we don't, because they have engineers to do that. So we just get to do whatever we want, on our own time. It's about the sweetest setup that could possibly exist.

But I still have to take qualifiers, and those are still a bitch. It's especially difficult because the professors here don't give a shit about teaching, so even in the classes that I have taken, I have no idea what's going on. Then there's the third day with six classes that I haven't taken.

Hi Blog,

First class today. It's on Final Cut Pro for video editing. Should be fun. The other 2 classes are tomorrow, one on Adobe After Effects, the other on TV camera operation. It's been so freakin' long since I've been in school.

Yesterday I was cleaning out some old shit, found a notebook with some story ideas and scenes. One line, all by itself on a page: Hiring myself out as a computer subroutine may not be the most glamorous job around, but at least it's more dignified than being on the dole. I have NO memory of that or what I was planning to do with it, but damn that's a cool line.
