Presentation yesterday involved trying to talk over the extremely loud air conditioning (room v. cold, by the way). My voice was giving out near the end but luckily the class wasn't that large and so I think most people heard me. I did cave in and got a laser pointer (a cheap red one; I think when I graduate I'll celebrate by getting one of those nifty green ones) from the bookstore. Statistics continues to be very theory-based. I don't think math will be involved at all, since we're being taught how to use JMP instead, which does all the calculations so long as the right buttons are clicked. In other words, the class doesn't seem like it can get much more interesting.
Contact lens appointment was also yesterday. I was given two pairs in addition to the pair that I plonked in (they had to change the contact lens solution for me because the first one stung) and was told to wear the last pair during the follow up next week. (Was also ordered to wear them home to get used to them.) Going through campus without my glasses is very strange, since I always wear my glasses on campus. It's a little bit like going through campus without your backpack on a school day. I felt exposed and concluded that I will always prefer glasses over contacts, except for special instances where the benefits of not wearing glasses significantly greater than the reassurance of the familiar weight across the bridge of my nose.
(For the record: taking them out is harder than putting them in.)
Feeling tired today, not too sure why. Got only two papers to read before Thursday. Lab is...eh. I think one of my classmates is thinking of joining it. I also have to subtract a point, I think, for the fact that the PI is not that experienced as a thesis adviser.

It's strange but I don't think I'd notice if I was walking around without my glasses (if I could still see, obv).
Go to sleeeeep early.
