Ben Fold's Genius

I've loved Ben from way back when. This song is one more. Making Levi Johnston's myspace profile into a lovely song takes true talent.

Dr. Busy Bee

In the 30 days since my last update I have:
1. Finished and turned in my (250 page!) dissertation to my committee
2. Made a powerpoint condensing five and half years of work into 50 minutes
3. Successfully defended my dissertation!
4. Went on a whirlwind weekend with my parents-we went hiking at Guntersville State Park, explored huntsville, and got in time for Barbecue on their last-ever trip to Alabama.
5. Made a poster for the upcoming SFN meeting
6. Edited and finalized my (251 page!) dissertation

In the next 6 or so weeks I have to:
1. Go to San Diego for six days for a conference
2. Teach first year students about something science related (next friday? i should figure this out)
3. Run a few last experiments and finalize two manuscripts for submission
4. Go to Providence and find an apartment
5. Pack all my stuff
6. Drive to Rhode Island. With my cats. not looking forward to that.

Not to mention trying to squeeze in as much time as possible with my favorites here in birmingham! It's going to be a crazy few months.

In honor of this, a cat busy bee. Watch the whole thing, the end makes up for the early annoying cat-talk.
