A brief glimpse into the Postbacc Life

The second most exciting thing I did yesterday was open a new bottle of deli mustard. I have not finished my last bottle, but I was having a hot dog and wanted Hebrew National deli mustard. This begs a question: what was the most exciting thing that I did yesterday? I ate a poptart dipped in sugar-free pudding for desert.

As I took a moment to look down upon the pitiful creature I have become, my giddy laughter was tinctured with self-loathing and despair. Unable to decide whether to burst into tears or collapse in gales of manic laughter, I could only return to the anesthetizing tedium of organic chemistry. The test is on Friday. I am not yet ready.

  1. It's "dessert", not "desert". Dessert is juicy and gets an extra "s". The desert is dry and gets only one. One of my favorite mnemonics.

  2. Ah, but it was an ironic comment on the bleakness of the postbacc wilderness in which I was living!

    Or, it's entirely possible that I was too consumed by self-pity to concern myself with things like proper spelling...
