I lost my phone last weekend... it turns out, someone dropped it in the snow outside my classmate's backyard in the frozen Virginia countryside. She graciously looked all over the [massive] space looking for a [white] phone after dark in the cold [she has Reynaud's].

Well, my phone is so cool, it survived being nibbled on by wild animals and staying out in sub-freezing weather for 24 hours. It is cheerfully charging away by my side right now.

I may not survive this week as well. Two days in and I've already put in 26 hours.

There is some merit to ostrich behavior. You know, the "stick your head in sand to avoid seeing predators" approach (which is specious, by the bye).

The Texas v. Nebraska game should have been an easyish win. Instead, I walked away after an epic dinner and went to sleep at halftime. I woke up around 2 a.m., and the first thing I said to Michael was "Please tell me we won!" I haven't been able to go back to sleep since he told me HOW we won. :|

At least dinner was awesome.


This is from a couple of weeks ago, when I left work to go to Texas for Thanksgiving. Now that was a good game to watch... although in retrospect, rather naively cocky of me to put up those taped signs.


There are other awesome things that happened today - like first snow (my first snowballs ever! I suck at throwing them, hahaha) and a fun, fun party with fellow interns. But those need pictures to accompany them.
