SUNDAY: Slept in late, made myself a large pot of Thai beef curry for dinner while partaking in the joy of doing taxes…   MONDAY: Dropped off my tax returns in the morning along with two fat checks for that blood-sucking organization, had curry for lunch, left lab at midnight, had more curry for dinner, and wrote QBANK questions for Kaplan until 4 in the morning…   TUESDAY: Got a bag of Glenny’s Soy Chips from my roommate which tasted a bit like cardboard and should not be associated with my name in any way, had curry for lunch, edited some stuff for my PI, left lab at 1:30am, and finished off the night with more curry for dinner…   WEDNESDAY: woke up late but squeezed in some curry for lunch, split 50 plates of cells, did a 24-well AP-binding assay, 6 ligations and transformations, 3 maxipreps, 2 minipreps, and dissected DRGs from a chick embryo in a pear tree, left lab at 4:30am and had my last bowl of curry for the week…   THURSDAY: had lunch with Bob who just passed his PQE, had dinner with Jeff who just completed his HST thesis defense, and on the way caught some ducks crossing the road with my camera-phone, left work at 11pm, and tried to shoot down a daddy-long-leg in the apartment, but without success…   FRIDAY: Too early to tell, but the annual MD-PhD revisit weekend guarantees a delicious course of fancy catering, live jazz, welcome speeches, name tags, and smug-sounding roundtable schmoozing, Schmaaaarvard-style … Bon appetit!
