Because Palegreenhorse did

My birthday was yesterday. I went out to eat for lunch but no singing there. I had two of my friends sing VERY loudly and off key (very bad sounds). This caught the attention of at least three others who then came and wished me happy birthday. In return for the bad singing and embarrassment I got a card for Starbucks :). MMMM free coffee.
I guess I did get have people sing to me at a restraint - on Friday. My roommate type person and her parents took me out to eat. (Compare that to the title mentions persons story, weird? ah... will ignore that.) It was a Mexican restaurant singing wasn't much better than my friends but they tried. I also got to wear a sombrero and have my picture taken. Lucky me, but what makes up for this all - free food (from the parents) AND free dessert - deep fried ice cream (from the restaurant). All in all not a bad deal. At least it wasn't like last year at Red Robin when they made me stand on the chair to get my sundae. Thats just cheap entertainment for everyone else...

Getting close

I was chatting with my major professor yesterday about my thesis. It is getting close to being done. Who knows when I'll have my defense but at least I am beginning to see a bit of dim light shining down the end of the tunnel. Will still have formatting stuff to do after she says it is good. Will probably start working on it while waiting for her complete approval. Hope this final 'rush' can be done quickly then maybe I'll get a job. My mind just ran off thinking about when I might do my defense depending on when my committee members could meet... I should just go back to editing and not worry about anything else. OOO except lunch.

Thesis, candy, and oops better get busy

When I write I have the innate ability to say things using very few words (although this tends to be limited to scholarly writing, things like this I can go on for lines and lines and not really notice although its not apparent yet :)). This has not been beneficial in adding to the length of my thesis. The other thing that doesn't help is my Professor telling me that one section doesn't need to be there but I should be ready to explain it when I do my defense. Yippie! At least it isn't anything that is too complicated. I have a bad feeling that the next time my professor revises my results/discussion section she will say it needs to be longer :P that does not make me happy, but will have to wait and see.

The candy jar is not empty yet. It is still over half full. I was feeling crappy earlier this week so I wasn't eating any but am feeling better so have been snacking this morning, kept saying when I got a purple one I wouldn't eat anymore. I got two but then just ate another one. Bad. I will not eat anymore or I will get sick.

My Professor is on my msn chat, came in handy this summer when she was in WW and I at Rosario. She just signed on and yesterday she was here in the department so am wondering if she is down the hall... hope she doesn't stop by I need to look busy ;). No I am getting stuff done this was just a little distraction.

Look at me, look at me!

I can be special too. Although only if I keep this updated more than my other web journal I have somewhere.

Ok so am feeling like I should write something but more so on my thesis than here. So that's what I'm going to do. But wanted to write something for now.

I am using my friends office while I am finishing my thesis, she has a little candy dispenser. It brings joy to people who come to visit. Although usually it is people that know her. But today I was sitting at her desk (because that's where the network cable is) and a student saw it and gasped (more like ah but a happy one). So he walked up and took some. I just sat there and smiled at him, he said thank you and walked on. It was amusing to me.
