carpe diem, baby!

my advisor dr. baier is back.. from his travels in the gulf.. we both came to the mutual agreement that i should push back my graduation date to after summer.. which sounds just fine to me.. it allows me one more summer of sheer decadence & hedonism, iniquity & depravity! however much you might enjoy yourself after getting a job, there's nothing quite like the college days, though lack of finances tends to put a damper on things.. but hey, it's summer.. i can work 40 hours/week!

anyways, dr. baier gave me the keys to a new basement lab and office.. its been used for storage so far, but stuff has been moved around.. and it looks like a perfect geek-lab.. which suits me just fine.. hopefully the nerdy atmosphere there will rub off on my thesis research!

"so what does all this have to do with the title of today's post?" i hear voices asking.. no wait, those voices are in my head! hmm.. .. .. .. right ho, back again me lassies and laddies! i just realised i have been way too quiet for way too long! it's time to get out there on the streets again, sing 'stairway to heaven' in a bar with a stranger, drink a beer with breakfast and go to work, take home two girls from the same party.. or maybe do something different this time.. tint my hair a shade of blue, take an unannounced trip to somewhere out of the way, stay in the lab overnight and finish some seven experiments.. yeah, let's carpe diem baby*!!

*carpe diem baby!
- Latin, carpe (= seize) + diem (= day) + baby! (= baby!)
