This was the sight as we walked to the caf for lunch today. Pretty delicious, n'est pas? My apartment search hasn't quite ended as I had hoped it would. The current tenant, who first asked for an extension until Nov. 15, has now asked for an extension to Nov. 30. Now she is a musician, and I understand that those type (BJW and WMPP, I love you both) have a hard time with deadlines. However, as one on the "butt-end" of this deal, things kind of stink down here. I'm tossed up between trying to find temporary housing for six weeks or just looking for a new apartment and cutting my losses. It's a bit of a shame because this one is relatively cheap and nice.
Luckily, there's been one of my favourite obsessions to keep me distracted: work! As well as correcting a low-pass filter (yes, you read that right. I actually corrected someone's electronics) and general lab work, I had to proof all abstracts that Franz wanted for an upcoming workshop we're going to. There were six abstracts to proof, mine to write, and a slightly tight deadline. These kids (read:the PhD students) are good with turnaround times, and we were able to submit everything today. So tomorrow I'm back to lab work and trying to catch up on the literature of the different experiments we're supposed to be doing.
