and Living arrangements were found..

but, like Dawn said, maybe too far away, maybe too expensive, we'll see how it goes.  Well, we'll have to.  I don't know how it can go any other way at this point.  But, it's a residence.  M&T said it was some of the best rental housing they've seen in CS, TX, so it should be good.  It does have a washer drier.  Do I sound like I'm trying to convince myself?

I got all my stuff in  under the deadline for graduating.  I even (thought) I had done my corrections before midnight.  Little did I know EndNote was quietly screwing with my references, and stuck them all at the end.  Dawn, bless her soul, came down to fix it all for me, just for the cost of lunch.  She's been very supportive through all of this, and I don't thank her enough for minding the details that keep us running as a pair.  Or even keep me running solo.

But, just the same, all the other paperwork and submissions were done before 1 pm.  Pretty good for me.  (I've a terrible habit of doing things at the last minute.  I'll work on that.  Will I ever change?  Stay tuned....)

Today it was more protein purification, this time the last, I hope.  A few experiments short of a paper, but I think I've eluded to we're always a few experiments short of a paper.  That means binding assays tomorrow!  Big fun that is.  But like I said, get it done, and then it's done.  And as Claude told me, don't try and catch a pig in an alley.  So, don't look for me doing that in the near future.

We got our robes today, and as I was screwing around, trying it one, it really felt real for me today, that this graduate school thing might really be ending.  Also though, I might've felt a little faint because of the heat.  I did carry three boxes of robes in 100 degree heat.  So, I was a little sweaty.  Part of my purification protocol involves me standing in 4 degree room, rarely have I been so happy to stand in that room.  I had just about enough of it though, after 40 minutes, I was starting to shiver.

I wonder how I'll do in the Texas sun.
