Day 18 - Restaurant Week Wednesday
January 18, 2012

Thinking I could sleep in since I don’t have class today, I nearly forgot I have weekly lab meetings at 9am. For once I’m early to the meeting and once I go upstairs to my supervisor’s new office, I thought there was no lab meeting since she wasn’t in and even the other people who are almost always early. Turns out everyone is just running a couple minutes late. Went in for the meeting, discussing a lot of responsibilities and duties that need to be fulfilled. After, Mel and I fix up the our new cubicle space. Finally got more office space!

Got lunch real quick and went back to the office for individual meeting with my supervisor. It’s very admirable that she allots time to meet with the undergrads who work in her lab to do check-ins with to see how we are doing, but more importantly to assist in career development, “What is it that you want to do and how can I help you achieve that goal?”

Left to go back to campus for a “Prospective Student Peer Counselor Workshop” that I knew wasn’t going to happen today since I sent an email a bit late. Hopefully people come on Monday for the other time that it is scheduled for. At least I got a chance to sit down and relax. Got a snack at Shogun and somehow bit the underside of my tongue. That hurt soo bad. How does that even happen? I thought I bit the side of my tongue, but I got deep and got it under. That’s talent right there. Had the first practicum of the new quarter and it is definitely a good feeling to be back in that space. 

Went down to Hillcrest for restaurant week and the Fig Tree Cafe is pretty gooood. Went with Alex, Kuya James, Marc, Scott, Michael and Earl. Three course meal for $30 and had good waitress who is pretty funny. She was telling us how just last night she almost got mugged and was able to fight back. Glad she made it out ok. It was a good night with good food and catching up with friends.
