Yom Kippur
So incidentally, as Tom was atoning me for my sins of boozing, others including SuperD were also being atoned for their sins as Yom Kippur wrapped up today. This is all I know about that fact as SuperD informed me in response to the phone message I left him inviting him out for a beer...apparently we're gonna get together some time next week...should be fun.
In other news, I finally chatted with my co-supervisor about my scholarship proposal and he was great about it...well, he gave me a pep talk about how I was good student and that I'll get one unless they are idiots which they can be occasionally...it was very nice of him to do. Then he talked me through how I needed to present things and I felt better. It was funny cuz he says to me that everything he said he got from my proposal...but everything just sounded so much better when he described it...I guess that's what happens when you've been writing that long...things make sense and you can format them easily...
So anyway, I'm feeling much better about that. But I'm feeling quite ill at ease about a talk I had with my lab mates today...I know they bug me about this specifically cuz they know it drives me bonkers but I think they believe it too. They keep saying that I am gonna do my PhD with co-supervisor only...even though I came here to work with supervisor. It's true that I co-supervisor is absolutely great, but his area of research is COMPLETELY unrelated to mine. He fits in mostly because he is in charge of the center that has the equipment I need. In fact, it's pretty damn nice of co-supervisor to co-supervise me at all. I mean he's intersted in my work on some levels, but there's no way I could do this without supervisor....sigh...I'm just worried supervisor won't want me to be his student anymore which will make me very sad.
What else, well, it was a day of massive aggravation as the lab mates continue to be ultra-catty about Ms. Movies...totally unecessarily....and I continue to be in the middle as friends of both....and given Ms. Movies' annoying penchance for saying "oooooohhhhh"...to everything like you have just explained string theory, I'm feeling a little annoyed with everyone.
What else? Been listening to Chris Isaak and feeling mellow instead of depressed...good sign I think.
Oh, and I'm not totally off my budget. Hooray!!! Despite the fact that I think I need to write roomie a new checque for September's rent...I think I actually managed NOT to spend that money.....wee!...sadly I believe my fiscal responsibility is a product of being to caught up in work to do anything....but hey, I'll take what I can get.
Oh Ya! I am HOPEFULLY gonna get an insulin pump. No more needles...fingers crossed that it is covered by my health plan like my doctor thought it was.
