grad school priorities #5

What I should be doing:
Studying for the midterm that may decide whether or not I get put on academic probation.
What I'm doing instead:
Way too many surgeries and perfusions.  All week long.  Thanks to my PI for that last-minute timeline change.

  1. The last few weeks sound like they've been a teeny tiny bit difficult. Having toughed/cried/dragged myself through crazy work periods made kind of impossible by illness, I know that what you need are tea and hugs and someone to do your damn laundry, not encouraging words. But I hope you're getting the other things from people closer and that a "you can do it!" "it's going to be alright" and "remember all those pubs and fancy scholarships? you're amazing" from a stranger on the internet helps at least a little.
