Day of the Week

For about the last month, the days of the week have been especially perplexing. I am never certain what day it is--although in my reality, there are no tuesdays for some reason--and i'm always wondering what's going on.

For example. Monday was Wednesday or Tuesday, I couldn't decide. Tuesday was Monday. Wednesday was Thursday. Thursday was Friday. Today is Thursday. So, effectively, my week went: Weds, Mon, Thurs, Fri, Thurs.

I hope this isn't a sign of mental instability. I should also note that I regularly don't know what year it is. Or the date, although I'm getting slightly more reliable on this. If I ever do get questioned, I might end up in an institution somewhere because I won't be able to answer these simple questions.

Another note: I'm tired of writing samples.

Writing

Draft 1 of the complete writing sample is almost complete!!

Rock ON.

Now, I need to edit it so I don't sound like an idiot. Or, as h suggested, 'rewrite all the sentences so they don't sound stupid.' Thanks, hub.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Watched the results last night and was delighted. I couldn't believe it, still can't.

We have (or will have in just a few months) a president who can SPEAK, actually MOVE people. And I helped elect him. Wow.

Today is a very good day.

I also am almost finished with gift hat #2. It looks pretty nice :)

Submitted

I just submitted my NSF proposal.

Now, all I can do is sit around, wait, and think of all the reasons I won't win.

Also, my references are size 11 and they're supposed to be size 12. I'm an idiot.
