This time tomorrow - Part II

[maypirate]

...so I just bought a new thermometer, and now I don't have a fever, my temperature is actually 2-3 degrees colder than it should be. Oh what the hell, thermometers. Is this so hard?



List grad schools you are applying to. Bold the names of the schools as you complete the applications. Star them when the application has been sent.

1. The College of William and Mary No star yet - online part submitted, but supplement not sent
2. University of Wisconsin - Madison*
3. University of California - Berkeley*
4. University of Pennsylvania*
5. Stanford

Berkeley played a nasty trick on me, popping up a supplemental form that I didn't know about until after I'd submitted everything else. And it had to be printed and hand-written. Yeehaw. That's why we have overnight mail.

Now I can breathe for a day.

Sometimes your temperature can be affected by if you've been out in the cold or if you've had something to drink before taking your temperature. It's a good idea to take it 2 or 3 times and average them if you're taking it by mouth. Did you replace the old thermometer with a digital one? They're quicker, easier to read and more accurate. Of course, one that takes your core temp in your ear is even more accurate. :)

BTW, I doubt that the old thermometer had mercury in it (unless it was really, REALLY old, which it may have been, I dunno). Most thermometers nowadays have a different type of fluid in them instead of mercury. One way you can tell is if the liquid was red instead of gray.

That fluid is usually alcohol, I said, adding a random fact.

That's right, alcohol. I couldn't remember what it was. That's typical of my memory these days. >:p

You can get through this. I have faith!

If you go to Berkeley it will be cheaper to visit me.
