luciferin

do californians just love the simpsons that much? apparently. they play it on tv all the time. that, and harry potter. i hear some people have the book already.

HAHA! i wasn't talking about YOU, jalto, when i made that statement.

i think i've already heard start the commotion and days go by before. what is it- get up, get up, put your body in motion? and the days go by music video has some guy doing breakdancing/robot/pop&lock right?

i was looking at B-米‘s recent posting, and it left me wondering why there wasn't a beer in my hand. people aren't allowed to drink on campus, but if you're over 21, you can do it within the confines of your apartment as long as you don't attract attention with all the noise. nobody in my apartment drinks. they think it's stupid and bad for your health, although they'll presumably hang out with their friends-who do drink- without carrying an air of judgment.

i was able to get up this morning. 7 AM. no alarm clock. i got dressed, went down, ate breakfast. i don't like fake eggs, nor do i like sausage. tator tots as well. or maybe it was just that the chefs didn't cook it properly. by proper i mean food that tastes good. the fruit was disappointing, and when i wanted to drink the juice from the grapefruit after scooping away and eating the pulp, i realized there was a hole on the bottom so all the juice leaked onto the dish. in conclusion, waking up that early in the morning, with no tasty food to look forward to, is a waste of time.

i also tried cream of wheat for the first time today since i didn't know what people's fascination was with that breakfast item. it tasted like oatmeal, only grainier. nothing special about it, only that it's not as thick as oatmeal. the american equivalent of chinese porridge?

ah yes. baylor PI. check. i still use him as a job reference. wonder what he says about me? eep.

Just make sure that your letters are tailored for each lab. You want them to think that you're the perfect match- not that you'll just work anywhere and still don't know what you want.
And 58k is definitely more than enough for rent, food, and clothes. You could get by on less than half of that in most places. You just need to know how to save money.

yes, make your cover letter personal if possible... or at least gear it towards the lab

dude, you can drink anywhere in japan. you can even drink as a passenger in a car.

i imagine if you walk around san francisco with an open beer that people are probably going to assume you're an alcoholic. haha.
