you might be a grad student if...

dude, forgot to post this quote earlier... so i've been having troubles on and off this school year with my eyelid twitching sporadically... every time i complain or eric sees me messing with it he jokingly says i have some weird vitamin deficiency and i should work on that... so i actually got a professional opinion on it today =P

eye doctor: so do you ever have problems with your eyes being dry or burning?
me: no... although my right lower eyelid twitches a bit sometimes lately
eye doctor: yeah, that's called (spouts off some long name)... that's ok... it's an involuntary eye muscle response to periods of stress...
me: for example... grad school?
eye doctor: exactly, and it's nothing to worry about.

...so twitching eyes are a symptom of grad school -- awesome

in other news, i was almost done writing up my analysis homework... almost in the sense that writing up 3 out of 4 problems took 8 sheets of paper front and back, and i wrote up 1/2 of the remaining problem at colleen's house earlier... just before i left to go home and watch scrubs though,scott brought out the tequila and triple sec that we had leftover from margaritas a week or two ago and mixed me up a nice big cup of the two of them mixed... i drank it in about 5 minutes so i could get home by 9:30, and man, halfway down my 10 minute drive home i was really feeling it... not that i was drunk or anything... it was 1 glass, but i drank it awful quick and hadn't eaten anything since lunch at like 1... doht! half an hour of silly TV, soup, and iced tea later, all good... lesson to be learned: tequila *after* homework, not before. QED. night.
