*sigh*
i'm so tired this morning. long day yesterday. my bike is still sick from a bad tire, which i tried to fix yesterday, but failed miserably at. today i need to go down to pauls, get a new tube and just go from there. but unfortunately the gears are all screwed up, and i can't do anything with that without help from professionals. :( when my bike is sick, i'm not happy. happy bike = happy brooke. but we still made it here to work this morning, and it didn't take way long either.

got an email from a professor this morning. my favourite professor, EVER. my most optimistic of hopes was that i was going to get this great answer and i would know exactly which direction to move in (okay, that wasn't the greatest hope, the greatest hope was that he would say COME STUDY WITH ME, NOW.), but instead i got an encouraging note but one that left me with a huge decision to make. not one about whether to go or not, but about which program to study. i guess its a great privilage to be caught in what program to study, but to know that my favourite professor, EVER, believes that i would do well in a ph.d. program. many people don't have that kind of encouragement. its good. yes, its good, but i don't like the tough decision i must make, and the tears that shed this morning as i was talking to my friend peter about leaving eugene to persue my studies.

i have grants to write today. i wish i weren't so tired, but i guess thats what the caffiene is for, eh? must go boil water and pop in a bag of chai tea.

update, 15 minutes later.
tea is made, *whew*. no one has made tea in a long long time. i was afraid i'd blow up the stove or something.. the tea kettle got a little hyperactive, i thought it might blow up on me and i'd die of boiling water wounds. luckily that didn't happen. now i have my (caffinated) chai tea. oh, and i noticed some very old cherry garcia in the freezer. i know that underneath the layer of old icky ice cream is a layer of yummy good stuff. must explore that later. but now? must call the mrg. okay, after i get more caffiene in my body. don't want to sound like a total toad.
