I did it

[minxy]

Guys, I survived my first semester on full load with research expectations. I set up a lab, mentored a student, taught two classes and two labs, and submitted a grant. I was social, like, once, but I managed to go to a Pilates class every week for an hour and garden or rake leaves/whatever on the weekend.

Goal for the break: get me to a medical professional for a well-person check up. Also dermatologist and possibly find a good massage therapist. Yes.

Goal for this evening, follow-up my second social event of the semester with a well-earned whiskey, neat.*

Next week: finals, but for now, I am finished lecturing for the semester.

How are you guys?



*okay, two whiskeys. Whiskey is good. What?

Hey, good on you!

I'm okay, off to Chicago for a mini-vacation tomorrow. Life could be worse.

Ooooh, traveling!

I hope it's enough of a vacation to be fun. Fun is good.

Can you falldowngoboom and armsofwin at the same time? I think that's where I am.

Except, for the record, there's still finals and final grades to do. But, yeah. \o/

That sounds like a lot, to be honest. Congratulations on surviving with mental health intact!

[minxy]

I think so too. Makes it easy to forgive the little fuck-ups this semester, because I did the big stuff.

You have definitely earned both the whiskey and the massage therapist! Look at you! *looks at you*

To think I knew you when. :-)
