I needed that

Thanks Moni.

A labmate called me in the lab to chat because she hasn't seen me since before the Feast (I've been coming in at night to accomodate the M.R.S.'s school schedule). We had quite a good talk. She feels just as despondent and adrift as I do when it comes to school matters. The two of us share many concerns and frustrations about our degree progress. It is comforting to know that I'm not the only one here feeling inadequate, unprepared, and at times like quitting. I think I'm more to blame for my situation than she is for hers, but finding a kindred spirit is always nice. I found out from her that another mutual acquaintance just had his December graduation pushed back to May, so the three of us are planning to drown our sorrows in a couple of adult beverages one day this week. (OK, so I won't exactly drown my sorrows, but you get the idea...) Yep, I like doing science less and less by the day.

Desiree, if I don't get the van, the M.R.S. will kill me. I'd much rather have an Escalade or Navigator. Quick question - could the Jetta hold 6?

Jalen is six. Exactly. You need a van.

*sigh*

Six in a jetta...HA! You can barely fit four in there.

Mike, you're a big guy, you need a big vehicle. Jettas are tiny. I say go for the SUV. You can keep your manhood and still have plenty of room for the family.

But unfortunately no money left in your wallet :)
