Had a crappy day at work so I went to the store and bought oysters and a trout for dinner, went home and baked the fish with some herbs and broiled the oysters with a wine sauce. Made me feel a little better. Fell asleep on the couch and woke up at 10 to run. Felt like crap and ran 3 miles on the treadmill (7:50 overall pace). Blech, tired with a cold Yesterday was our Department's Christmas party. They also give out awards for outstanding grad student and outstanding TA. I manged to win outstanding TA for an undergrad class I helped with. I did pretty much what was expected of me with a couple little extra things thrown in so I did not expect to win. It was pretty exciting and totally unexpected. The teacher of the class wrote some pretty nice things about me! Sometimes these things can turn into a popularity contest which I definitely would not win, so yea me! My friend also won the outstanding grad student award so we cleaned up!. Sadly, our assistant dean/professor is leaving to go be dean at another school. Aside from my boss, she was the biggest influence of me going into research so she'll be missed.
