I've got a cold. Blech...who gets a cold in the middle of the summer? All I want to do is curl up with a hot cup of tea but that's hardly reasonable when its 95 degrees outside. I just hope I'm better in the next few days. With the Royal Canadian Henley (rowing) in a week and a half this is not the best time to be sick. I decided to forgo any work this afternoon and take care of myself by going to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean. Quite fun, not as confusing as some people have said, but they TOTALLY leave you hanging at the end, as everyone already knows. I'm right on track with working on my thesis proposal (hence not feeling bad by going to a movie). I was supposed to have an outline to my advisor by the end of next week, but emailed it to her on Monday, so I'm actually a bit ahead. I'll start writing in the next day or two. My incentive to finish is that I can move back to Anchorage when I'm done!
