It’s been that kind of week

Posted in Academics, Graduate School, Running, The Lady | Tagged bachelor party, cross-registration is a bummer, everyone was equally slaughtered in smash brothers, finding out the experiments you've done the last year are useless is nothing short of infuriating, guinea pigs and kitties make everything better, i beat charlie at phoenicia, i got my ass kicked in munchkins, not getting a full paycheck for nearly two months is annoying, running is becoming awesome again, running is my outlet, we're aiming for six publications this semester and are now one-third toward that goal | 1 Comment

Moving

Posted on August 7, 2013 by Shannon Quinn

Day 36: Work of a different kind

Posted on July 21, 2013 by Shannon Quinn

Day 23: It was a sweet sprint

Posted on July 7, 2013 by Shannon Quinn

Day 22: So bloody humid

Posted on July 7, 2013 by Shannon Quinn
