RIP Desk Fort

Yesterday, the summer student and I dismantled my fort.  The office is getting shuffled around and my desk is being moved....within the same room thankfully....but we had to move the mini-bomb-shelter beneath my desk so that my desk could actually be moved.  Now, if the Rapture (not Raptor, but that would be pretty cool too) does actually happen this Saturday, I won't be able to crawl under my desk for protection as I had planned :( ...not that I was actually believing in such non-sense, but I thought that at least I'd have a cool hidey-hole.....
Either way, the fort came down and I got an amazing workout.

As far as "Project" goes, I'm not ready to bang my head against the wall yet, but frustration is setting in.  I'm a smasher and a grapher, not a coder.  I've been coding in MatLab for the last 2 weeks, and my brain is slowly turning to mush.  It's no big deal, I'll climb the steep learning curve eventually.  It's just a tough climb.  All part of the process, I just hope that Supervisor understands that I'm taking the process in stride.  I may not have a lot to show for the last couple of weeks, but my brain hurts.  To me, that counts as something to show.  It's just a little tougher to materialize, that's all.

Honestly, life's fairly mundane.  Funny how idiot undergrads made my life interesting.  Damn them idiot undergrads.  I'm not the only one who feels that way...good thing.  I've been chilling with the Physics and EP grad students lately.  They share my disdain for idiot undergrads too.  At least we have that much in common.  Well, that and a little more.  We're also all very brilliant people.
