of happenings
i have been on cloud nine since friday... after talking to the immunologist in my lab and listening to her advice, I feel that I am finally ready to adopt a less harsh attitude towards my lab work and getting published.
The chicago trip with rebecca was honestly too good to be true. Her parents were such darlings and the house and garden really swept me off my feet. Italian food was their favorite (though almost completely of german descent) and I really enjoyed the walk by lake michigan and the mozart concerto no 25 in c at the park.
Came back to saint louis and watched a ton of world cup (largely during work time, out of defiance towards ms klein). Italy was really the better of the two during the match against the socceroos, though they put up a good fight. Watched it with a group of researchers that I didn't know and I was positive that there were australians in the midst cos after I cheered with totti's penalty shot, 2 people shot me a deadly venomous glance. Made my exit promptly.
Had a good run in the evening, and then tennis with a few friends. A friend came over to cut my hair, which was pretty successful. Finally, ended up playing classical music, italian arias, spanish operas and 60s american blues on my gramophone (my new love) while having apple wine. Just looking at the vinyl records (which i got from a yard sale at chicago: $2 for the whole box of like 50) makes me go goo-goo-ga-ga. Unfortunately, my 4 yr old camera has finally decided to RIP (which explains the lack of pictures recently) hence no pics for now. Hopefully i can fix it soon.
I am positive that the good weather makes me more positive today. Oh, and I found out that rebecca has the original 1960s vinyl record of sound of music, and coincidentally, our favorite song is "Something good". Go listen to it.. honestly, there's something good in life, you will discover.. =)
