typing away
Candidacy 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!

You're going to visit.
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.
