Semi-work

Is it a bad thing when I spend as much time surfing the web and looking at background templates for this site as I do doing productive work? Ahh...such is grad school. I'm in one of those semi-lulls, with cycles of motivation. If only I had experiments to do (and results to analyze), but it is out of my hands. Slowly working on a micro-managed grant application (not due till 2/09) is hard to constantly stay on top of.

At least I got to hit the gym for an hour. Spent part of the time playing fight/21 with some first-year law students. As they said, they weren't very good. I got a good workout, but did just enough to let one of them win - putting up the most total points, but getting tipped several times. Always funny when someone asks if I play on the school team (Div III) and I laugh and say no, not close. How they look compared to me is about how I look compared to the team players. Perhaps if I was 10 years younger and hadn't had knee surgery twice over...and then I'd still need work. Good workout, though, along with that morale booster.

Looking forward to having more pressing work...
