Soooo, please excuse the last month and a half of my failed 3BTs. I’m now pledging to start over and actually just do this a day at a time rather than trying to play catch up.
So.
Today I love…
1. Finding a fully functional campus bike right outside my dorm, when I was about to walk halfway across campus to meet someone. Yay for bike rides, even short ones.
2. Submitting my research proposal for IRB approval–I can’t quite believe I’ll be doing my own research next semester. Prof M is so fantastic for helping me through this project. Love her.
3. RN’s farewell party and the embarrassing stories he told about everyone in the room
