Update

Sorry for the lack of posting, especially the long-delayed Zaytinya post. I am in the middle of grad school hell right now. Five classes is completely overwhelming. I really don't know how I'm going to make it through to tomorrow, when I get a momentary (it will feel like 5 seconds) break.

My gmail away messages have detailed my progression:

• not looking forward to chem fate
• chem fate is death
• is about to cry
• is crying because chem fate is insane
• feels horrible
• wonders why she's in grad school

Not included in that are highlights of the weekend:

• Watching a crazy modern dance performance inspired by the music of a composer who died in the Holocaust on Friday night with a friend while Nick had his own Wii date with the bf of said friend
  
• Cheering Nick on at his ultimate frisbee tournament on Saturday where they made it to the next round
• Eating semi-decent Vietnamese food
• Spending 10 hours in the computer lab on Sunday doing GIS, ending with
• Dinner with friends at a Thai restaurant, followed by
• 4 hours agonizing over chem fate, interspersed with various nervous breakdowns

And now here I am. I've got a lab report to bang out and a crazy insane midterm to complete. Cross your fingers that I survive this storm.

P.S. Nick is doing great.
