I've started my internship. It's going alright, if not a little slow-and-nerdy. The guy I'm mainly working for is a late 20something grad student named Joe. He has already started male-pattern-balding, wore plaid shorts and a striped shirt on our first meeting, is completely covered in very thick body hair (maybe take some of that and put on top of head), is chronically late, and sweats more than I do. By about double. If you didn't know, I sweat A LOT. All of this is something I can totally get past, but theee paaaace aaaaat whhhhich heeee wooooorkkkkssss aaaaand taaaaalkkkks is KILLING ME. So. Fucking. Slow. jesus man... really? I'm working noon-5 four days a week, but unpaid. Still no luck on the gainful employment front. I am semi-illegally participating in research studies for the other departments in my same building. I have 6 over the next two days resulting in, drum roll, $60!!!!! That is enough for groceries for over a month. Frugal living, friends. Frugal living. My solution to the fact that I can't get a job.

Steph is still in New York, so that's... lonely for me. I don't really know a lot of people around here and the ones I do I'd maaaaybe rather not hang out with for extended periods of time? IDK. She'll be back in a week.

I've been walking a lot to occupy my time. Walking, coming home, eating too much food, and watching movies. It's pretty ok. Yesterday on Newbury st I ran into two people I know from the valley. 1) this kid I worked on shira's div3 with who i got along with fine. 2) THAT GIRL SHARLENE FROM MY JANTERM CLASS FIRST YEAR SUPER AWKIESSSSS! Hadn't seen her since. Wowzers, that was spinechillingly awkward.

It just smelled like old smoke in here for a sec. That's probs not a good thing.

To Do:
- Get a job
- Send paula harmon all my internship 'expenditures' so far
- find a bunch of my shit that I can't find since moving in
- email my committee about how my internship is going/significantly rewrite div2 proposal and email it to them
- jesus christ, orgo porfolio. Redo problem sets 2-12, all lab edits, & final lab write up


Yep. That's what I got.
