typing away

happychemistCandidacy is on March 21. I'm getting more and more nervous as the day approaches. I've been typing away and working as hard as I can, but this is just so...gah. SO hard to say focused on writing my reports...
I have set up my new desk in my bedroom and am currently working from it. (I had avoided getting a desk since moving to this apartment: I wanted to keep my work at the lab...but really. Silly Crystal. Of course I need a desk in my room. I've never been without one before this apartment!) It's wonderful to work on my stuff in my room. Playing music without headphones on. It's better-lit than the dining room, and well, it's my space. My papers, file folders and textbooks are laid out in that strange "ordered clutter" configuation, and I don't have to worry about cleaning it up just to have a meal or to make sure my roommate doesn't get frustrated.
And I am happy to have my sanctuary again. I forgot how *at peace* I am with my own desk in my bedroom.

margaretrose left yesterday morning. She's now gone to Germany and I won't be seeing her for...*shudders* a long time. I don't want to think about it.
All right. Enough procrastinating. Back to the report!

Date: 2005-02-24 05:27 am (UTC)See, living with my brother has benefits: both the living room and my bedroom are considered "my space". Clutter? Mess? Stacks of various riff raff scattered wherever and whenever? Why, no problem :)
Oi, Margaret. It was super nice meeting her while she was here.

And I enjoyed "meeting" Margaret too. Even if it was by paper. ;)
You're going to visit.
Date: 2005-02-26 04:33 am (UTC)I'm glad the desk is as wonderful as hoped. I'm sure it would have been even cooler if it were a bright orange oval with a scary, uncomfortable chair like the ones we saw in Ikea.
It was very cool to meet everyone when I was in CA, even if it did rain during most of my visit. I hope you people are drying out now that I've left the West Coast.
Packing books sucks.
