In a meeting this morning, my professor asked if I was still asleep. It was a one-on-one meeting. He then broke out in laughter, presumably directed at me. And I'm not even in his class this semester. Oh, Walty. Just when one professor stops making fun of me, another steps right in.
In the library this afternoon, I dozed off many a times and tried to wake myself up by switching seats every few pages. There are a lot of comfortable chairs on the third floor (where my senior carrel is). And finally, I fell asleep on one of them until Tim walked by.
And all through out today, I just kept thinking, "No, today can't possibly be a bad day. I haven't even had a full week of classes. These things aren't really happening to me."
In other news, I cut through iron today.
(In the lab, miraculously, as a Lab Assistant)
Me: Do you have some wire cutters for these?
Martha (the lab instructor): I'll see if I can find some scissors for you.
Me: What, I can't just use my teeth?
Martha: No, you can't. (Then leans in to whisper) Ok, you can, just not in front of my students.
And that's why, despite the sleepless nights, I'm working in the lab.
