Delicious Foodz

For dinner tonight I had:

2 pita "pizzas" topped with cooked spinach, apples, walnuts, onions, mozzarella and mustard, and some orange juice.

Most delicious!

The only bad thing was I burned my left hand rather badly on the oven door when I was fooling around trying to put the walnuts (which I had forgotton) on the pizzas I had put in there to toast. Well, lesson learned; don't mess with teh ovenz.

Excellent Meetings with Professors

Met with Dr. Padron today, which left me in a great mood for like an hour afterwards. We talked about Germany, differences between the sciences and humanities in terms of professorships, (my) future plans, what have you. He asked helpful things like... Why are you interested in the sciences? Why in Biology? What motivates you in Biology? What questions would drive you to the lab every day? and so forth, which I need to continue to think about. Some of his suggestions, so I don't forget them:

-talk to Dr. Cronmiller about being interested in doing research, and how best to go about that. Or Dr. Garrett.

-drink the wine, eat the cheese, visit the Netherlands/Paris/other German towns when in Europe. But really eat all the food. Apparently, it's excellent.

-go to Germany, see what shoes they're all wearing, and then go buy a pair to blend in and seem like less of an American tourist when visiting places. An excellent idea.

-take pictures/keep a blog! Yeah.

-maybe take a year off school to clear my mind doing something not incredibly stressful and taxing. This will ensure that you have enough time to look around at schools, and also that you're really sure what you want to do.

Excellent.
