Headaches, Offices and Rain

It's always bad news when the first thing in your mouth in the morning is a pair of aleve, chugged down with some ice coffee. Yea, this wasn't the greatest morning.

This headache has been hanging on for three days and I have been fighting with all the ammo I have: proper hydration, sleep, caffeine, pain killers... What more do you want from me?

I am really hoping and praying that tomorrow will be the end, cuz I'm not nice about it anymore.

And in other news: I finally got into my office which is across campus from my department building! Don't think there will be a whole lot of actual work that I can get done there. Thankfully, I have a terrific workspace at home. Too bad students can't just meet me here during my office hours.

I am keeping up with the reading and consider how early it is in the semester, I may even be a little bit ahead. I'm sure that won't last long, however...

Paper chains didn't actually happen at my little brunch summit meeting with three other Jewish graduate students. But food did. Although, I must say, that I haven't quite mastered cooking over an electric stove. Things take too long to heat up and then you never can tell how hot they are. So my french toast was tough and spongy, rather than light and delicate.

And Geshem is in force just a few days early. We don't start praying for rain till FRIDAY, did you hear me GOD, FRIDAY!! I pulled my boots out of the closet early this year and it has continued to pour buckets over the last few days.

I look forward to hearing from everyone.
