Sunday...the day of rest

Do you remember when Sundays used to be the day that you just did fun stuff? Or the one day that your job was closed or closed early so it seemed like a day off? Now it's just the day that I catch up from last week and try and prep for the next week.

So I lived on campus for my first year. In undergrad I lived across the Bay from school in Oakland and for those of you who don't know the Bay Area that's about an hour commute one way. I wanted to make the transition slightly easier and chose on campus.

Well I got good news and bad news with that situation. Bad news... I got some of the oldest grad student housing on campus (EV).

roommate

Good news... I lucked out with an awesome random roommate, Anabelle.

Well after a year she has finished the master's program, which leaves me thinking there is no way I can luck out that much with another awesome roomate...so I'm moving in 3 weeks. Not the most optimal timing, during the last week of the quarter, but I figure now or never.

I am gonna miss our Sunday morning realizations that we are hungry though.... Like this morning... mmm IHOP.

IHOP

It's during these breakfasts that we begin to realize all the things that our coming up.:(

So prepping for next week. Working in the lab to continue and experiment that should have worked last week. Prepping my talk for Journal Club later this week. And finally hanging out with my soon-to-be new roommate, Valerie, as we work out our final moving situations over dinner. There is normally a Sunday dinner that is cooked so that I have leftovers throughout the week.

One thing my roommate has instilled in my during our year together though...Grey's Anatomy. Yes, it's sad but true. I used to only be home on Tuesday night for Gilmore Girls and now I have two nights that must be at home... Oh if only I had Tivo.

So the day of rest... yeah I don't really see it that way anymore I guess. More like the day of catch up. Maybe I just need a little more organization?... Live and Learn
