Congestion

This is what my head feels like right now. And I hope it pops soon, because girlfriend is not very happy. (That was me trying to talk 90's talk -- I'm not referring to a 3rd party girlfriend, to be clear. I could have just deleted that line but instead I decided to write three more clarifying my bad reference).

When I'm feeling sick and having violent sneeze attacks, my favorite thing to do is cuddle up with a pup, watch a good rom com, maybe sip on some tea and munch on some crackers. 

But... none of those things happened today because I have a big deadline on Thursday. Bad news, this project has been a pain in the neck due to the lack of liquid latex supply in Dessau. What is this, a third world country?! Just kidding, folks. Good news, I think this project will turn out pretty cool! And I get to make a video about the process, which I love doing, so no sweat about that. Now to make progress on my paper about tunicates. Wait... what? Got you real nice and curious, eh?

Prost!

 

Under the Weather

Unfortunately I caught some sort of bug this past weekend that's started my week off pretty crappy. I've managed to get a little homework done but headaches, a sort throat, and an unstoppable waterworks of a nose has mostly kept me in bed looking at blogs and watching Disney movies. Not so good when I'm supposed to have a completed design for my museum project in 2 weeks! Once this cold is beat it's crackdown time, for sure.

I've been drinking a crazy amount of fluids to ensure I'm better by this weekend for Angie's birthday! I'm excited to go to her hometown, meet her family, and go to Dresden for the first time. It's going to be magical (granted I'm actually healthy). 

In the meantime, I've been living off butternut squash soup, and Angie is a fantastic nurse who's been making me tea and went out and got ice cream for me when my throat (and tongue due to a hot-tea accident) was on fire. What a champ she is!

Prost, und Gesundheit!
