new lifestyle
September 18th, 2006 by Lawrence David
so begins my new life as a real lab rat.
christina’s post-bac classes have just started. harvard, manifesting another one of its ridiculous practices, schedules all “continuing student” classes at night (instead of just merging them with the identical undergrad class). that means that christina is booked from 6-10ish every night.
which in turn means 2 things for me: 1) i’m going to have to learn how to cook another dish besides hot dogs + onions + rice; 2) i have no reason to leave the lab every day until 10 pm.
i guess both of those are good; i’ll get lots of research done (really good) and i’ll hopefully turn into a halfway decent cook.
and, at least that leaves me without any reason to feel guilty about running off to practice with the men’s tennis team.
(i’m really loving playing tennis with the team. i’m getting regular 2-hour work outs and my tennis is growing much more consistent. i also get to play with wonderful players: i played a couple of games today with a fellow in his late 30′s who once played davis cup for kazakhstan! how cool is that?! perhaps even “cooler” – i split 2 of 4 games with the dude … he did take the deciding tiebreak though.)
