astronaut icecream bribes

, , 1 comment
so after the awkwardness of yesternight
today was mildly awesome!

got to uni
worked on my apps
went up to see supervisor
and discussed postgrad options quite openly
very nice.
he tried to bribe me into doing phD by dropping that i might be interested in going to new york for a conference next year. NGL, i was moved.
he also asked if i minded being cited as co-author if he were to present
and i was like "let me think about it..." nah~ i was like, "sure!"
first possible citation without having to do anything extra!
but then he was like, i can't guarantee that i'll be able to give your referee forms to you on time
and i was like O_O
apparently he had to entertain ~guests from the US
so he made me entertain with one of his phD students instead
LOL ended up having my first social coffee with a respected US psyc lecturer
i obviously impressed her with my silence and genuine nods, lol.

gave chocolates to my other referee
and got told it was "completely unnecessary"
almost made me want to tell him they were 50% off xDDDDD
then supervisor ended up finishing my referee reports on time
and he ticked off the boxes from my referee forms checklist and i was ultimate touched :P

when it came time to go home
(i left my phone at home...again)
i walked down to mum's place
AND SHE ALREADY LEFT!
so i waited half an hour before finally giving in and grabbing a stranger by the arm
and asking to borrow their phone
turns out mum was waiting on uppercampus
sigh. i must stop forgetting my phone at home.
