Tested yesterday and passed. Cannot help but be deeply grateful for the run through of the mock exam at 8am in the morning, though the exam isn't until after 10am and it was a very long morning. Ashley came by today and had lunch at Broken Yolk, which was good though one has to wonder if the gravy was quite meant to cover everything on my plate. Am, for reasons that don't need to be explored at this juncture, researching board games. Two have caught interest: Clue (reason obvious) and Game of Life (the Bradley game, not the Conway one, though that one is interesting too, for different reasons) (figured given how many fictional characters I know, with slight modification I can play an entire game by myself and then document the development to read over later for the laughs.) (Sims is still best for house and interior design -- it's much easier to draw things if there's a reference after all, though the random Sim generator is entertaining -- but the board game seems to offer more potential hilarity, plot-wise) (Yes that's what my involvement with Sims is reduced to now.)
Point is: have anyone ever played those two games? And if so, what are the impressions?
Ugh getting numerical score for NRSA (an NIH fellowship thing) at the end of next week*. Rumor says current pay rate is at 5%. My research is more basic science than clinically relevant. Adviser seems to have decided that I'm not going to get it and is going to try to put together an R01 (large grants such that the labs are made of) for my project instead in December. Cue insane rush for MOAR DATA.

*Note: the interpretation of the said score will not be available until, I think, the end of November. Yeah this makes no sense to me either.
