AH. The fire alarm has been going off for the past hour and a half, and it shows no signs of stopping. I just want to write my paper in peace!

In other news, nothing has really happened lately, especially sleep...that definitely hasn't been happening lately. Just paper writing and presentation-giving (I had two presentations last week an I have three papers this week), but the good news is that its all over on Thursday! And then I get to go to Istanbul :)! Trying to keep looking for that silver lining....
