Thursdays are like a teaser--it's one day til Friday and freedom, but you still have to slog through two more days of work. And to make matters worse, today is the first day of classes on campus. Translation: there are slews of freshman wandering around, lost, and otherwise tangling up roadways and bikepaths. One of my lab's favorite occupations this time of year is to go to one of the many bike roundabouts on campus and see how many kids fall on their bikes during the lunch hour. Personally, while I find this amusing, I generally just want to tell people to get out of my way. And while, in theory, I like to see the starry-eyed freshman wandering around, so full of hope, so full of promise, I also have this incredible urge to yell at them to escape while there's still time.
Well, that was a random stream of consciousness for ya. Eeesh. Okay, so here's why I'm writing this little bit: there's another nifty contest going down at the Guide to Literary Agents, and seeing as how I've had much success there before, I feel like I should spread the word :) Okay, well, since like no one reads this blog, not really spread the word, but at least put it out there in the universe. Anyhoot, click here to check it out. It looks to be a fun one!
Okay, I'm off to work and to ensure that no lovely first year grad students have managed to steal my desk in my office. I shall be much pissed if that's the case...
