I accomplished a lot yesterday, but very little today.
This morning I commented how my tuition bill hasn't arrived yet.  It's here now...  wheeee.  :P  It's not lonely either... my power bill came today too.  (The power bill isn't nearly as much as the tuition, though.  I wonder if it has an inferiority complex?)
This afternoon I spent two and a half hours ripping apart a pair of students... not my choice.  My advisor volunteered me, because he had to leave early.  Two biology students were giving a practice talk that happened to be in my dissertation area.  Poor, unprepared students.  I wasn't the only one... their prof was ripping them apart too.  However, he didn't have a clue what they were talking about, so I ended up explaining what they should have.  To their credit, they didn't cry.  (I would have, in their place.)  They are *not* going to have a fun weekend implementing our constructive criticism.  (The real talk is Monday afternoon... and they pretty much need to start from scratch.)  I'm glad I'm not them... but then I have my own load of stuff to do this weekend.  :P
