"(Un)Forgetable...that's what you are..."

Today my friend asked me, "So what did you do this week?"
And I said, "..."

Yup, it is one of those weeks- the ones where you can not for the life of you remember what you did, though you remember it being really, really tiring.

So what did I do? Well, the only thing that sticks out is that I had my Don evaluation. That was sobering. It really makes you think you aren't doing a good job...not because they told me I was doing poorly, but they didn't praise very much either. They would just say, "you could improve here, here and here..." I dislike evaluations like that because it reshuffles my priorities such that I feel like I must dedicate even more of my time to Don, which I am unprepared to do.

Also, I have realized that I am very bad at french. In class I stutter and when I had to order my transcript over the phone from the University of Montreal, well, let's just say the woman on the other end of the line was not very happy with me.

On a happier note, I am happily perfusing hamsters. Recall that my Biol 537 project involves me opening up a hamster's chest and then sticking a catheter into its aorta. I used to pierce the heart, or have the catheter fall out etc. but I am pretty good at it now and am actually enjoying it. You can tell you did a good perfusion when the brain comes out white. Today was one of those good perfusion days.
