Central Park East - 7:15am

Good morning!  It's starting to get very chilly in the mornings and beginning to look pretty barren!  The leaves have almost all dropped off the branches over night in Central Park.  It's a little sad that autumn is almost over because it is most definitely my favorite time of year.  Winter means that I'll be visiting Oregon and seeing my family and getting a break from classes, so it's good for different reasons.  I have a very busy day today - so much so that I was feeling all stressed out the minute I woke up today.  I went to the park and felt better after I mapped out (literally down to the minute), when I would be working to get everything done.  I think the main thing that is getting to me is that my biochemistry test is due tomorrow by 5pm and I still have a few questions to finish.  It isn't in my nature to finish things the day before they are due.  Usually by this point whatever it is that is due is printed out, stapled together and in a folder by this point.  Feeling like I'll have more work to do late into tonight is just making this day feel endless!  I'll have to just stick to my agenda and then really focus on not thinking about the rest of the day.  At least tomorrow is Friday!  (aka 9am meeting with Gregoire about the week's data that I havn't even thought about processing yet)....groan. 

I should stop complaining now since my silly ails are the ails of the white and well-educated (aka "white whine"). 

Have a wonderful day, everyone!
