i am not a freak. i am a scientist.

interestingly enough, today is wednesday and i actually have an answer to the full-time work question.  (things rarely work out as i envision them, obviously.)  that answer is i'm full-time again, which is super awesome.  i'm a little sad that the sleeping in i'd envisioned for tomorrow morning and friday won't be happening, but honestly, getting up at 5 am is far less brutal than wondering how i'm gonna pay the bills, so i'll handle it.

tomorrow, i'm starting my "maceration project" in advanced osteology, which means i will essentially be cutting apart a mummified barn owl and boiling its bones in baking soda until they sparkle.  that makes me sound like a psychopath, i understand, but it's actually the merging of two very important parts of my life; namely, learning how to process skeletons and doing things for the tar pits, as the animals we're working on are going to be part of the page museum's comparative collection.  see?  museums do this stuff all the time, guys, so i'm not a freak.  i'm a scientist.
