Ooh also!

Would like to share 2 of my most favorite ads I've seen recently:

"Google can't satisfy every search"
(An ad at some "place of awakening" right up the street, particularly poignant given its location in Palo Alto)

"How would you like it if someone turned you on and then left?"
(An encouraging reminder to turn the lights off when leaving the rooms at Stanford)

With my limited advertising expertise, I give these both an A++ :)

FALL QUARTER:

Really hard.
Super stressful.
Finally over.

I've been thinking about what I can improve for next quarter but I think I need to take a complete mental break for a couple of days after I go home. Even thoughhhh I asked my PI to give me lots of papers to read & I ordered an 850 page book (The Biology of Cancer) to try and go through over the break...

...ok but seriously, I'm taking a break besides that! I just go crazy at home when there's nothing to do. Can't wait to lounge & see all the people I want to see.

Back to 24 on NetFlix! :)

1 exam down...

...2 to go. I think the first one went okay, I'm sending out all my good energy & hoping it comes back to me :) I have to finish my take-home final for genetics today & it's hard to get motivated right now. Somehow this Mike's hard (pink) lemonade ended up in my hands at 3 PM on a Monday? <3

Wahoooooo finals!!!!!!

People keep asking why I'm so cheery this week...I'm tricking myself into believing that finals are the best thing ever!! (Helps with avoiding the opposite feelings, of utter depression)

I'm feeling the good study vibes this week (probably due to all the lovely people I've asked to send good vibes my way, feel free to do this CONSTANTLY) & putting in 8 (...10? 12?) hour blocks of studying so this must be a good thing. I really want to do amazingly well on the exams, I miss that feeling :(

Back to the grind! I <3 FINALS
