So I was all stoked to play catch up and pushed myself on Tues and injured myself. I hurt my back doing knuckle pushups so I had to take yesterday off working out and have been hobbling around the house ever since. Pretty pathetic!
This year is not starting out how I had planned! Bah!
It's hard when I know I'm falling farther and farther behind on my goals, but I know if I push too hard, it will set me back farther. Ah patience and progressing wisely....it's a fine line that's for sure!
Grad school is sssssooooo fun! I get to sit all day in my own office (that I share with two other guys, but still total awesomeness) and read about the coolest stuff! Right now I'm reading a paper on the Permian-Triassic (about 251 million years ago) mass extinction during which they think over 90% of all Earth's species went extinct. I suggest you google it if you haven't heard of it...pretty amazing. The formation I'm going to be working on is from this time period.
Ok so some of you (probably most) don't find that to be fantastically interesting but still....
I'm really enjoying it so far.
So ya, ups and downs...that's how life goes I guess eh?

actually, I find that quite interesting. I am well versed in the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. I have a 5 year old who wants to be a paleynmatomingist:) !!

welcome, fellow nerd! i'll get you a badge and you can join my dork club! so far, two members... the rest of the world doesn't know what they're missing! i have to say, you'll have to refresh me on rock formations- i lean more toward cellular biology and genetics.
