Week 10: That flu episode of Parks & Rec was eerily prophetic

“Leslie, I typed your symptoms into the thing up here and it says you could have ‘Network Connectivity Problems’.”
-          Andy Dwyer, Parks & Recreation

Like an extremely mild Greek tragedy, F, K and I laughed heartily at and then proceeded to suffer the fates outlined in that episode. Our three fates were: feeling under the weather but still working harder than everyone else (K), a single grain of sand compromising the microchip (F), and having no appetite for anything but waffles (me). Like I said, extremely mild. 

Long story short, it was a bit of a struggle getting caught up with all the work I missed after sleeping basically nonstop for a week, which means no completed projects for this week or the two preceding weeks. However, I've been resting and am getting back on track, and I’m super excited about my next few projects!

The project I’m most looking forward to is a series of science outreach visits to local schools, where I'm going to be doing some demos and a hands on experiment. The first one is next week! I've also decided to reread old favorite books, and am currently working through all the Sherlock Holmes books. So far, I've finished The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
