> The last one’s simple. Tell them they’re not behaving like college students. Really. Point out that they have way too much work to get do to be whining like 3 yr old little girls in Barbie Princess costumes with cake down the front. Point out that you’re their _ **teacher, not baby sitter.** _ If they’re having difficulty, you will do your best to address the worst issues - but they need to work together and arrange assistance for themselves. Because - YOU’RE THEIR TEACHER and there is ground to be covered - if they’re interested in continuing their tertiary education.  
> Time for tough love - or impatience. Whateva. But they are infringing on your consciousness and you don’t need the burden. You don’t want to hit a burnout for no good reason. It would be completely different if they were demanding and brilliant. That kind of exhaustion is exhilarating. They’re being dead weights to their own detriment.

Oh I’ve already said "you’re adults, I expect you to act like it. And structured the lab so each group asks other groups before asking me. I need to be somewhat polite about it, and definitely gender-neutral as I DO have ladies in my class. I think Ill just tell them that THEY signed up for three weeks of insanity, and worrying/complaining actually wastes energy in a counterproductive manner. It sucks that their lecture hasn’t covered the material before we get to it, but that’s what upper division studies will be like, so now they have a chance to practice with a safety net. 😛

And tbh it used to be guys saying something like that would seem creepy, so you’re fine. 😃

Same combination. (I should point out IS is mostly on my inner forearms, and IS/b is mostly on my chest, but some transfer occurs as I use my wrists to dab both on the sides of my neck. IH is still lonely on my nape.) I will return to update the weather reports as soon as my 4-year-old laptop with it’s first problem (from a manufacturing defect, no less) returns from computer hospital.

Friday: errands & date. A (young, good-looking) “homeless” man/busker said to his friends as I passed, “Yah I’d bend her over backwards.”. LOUDLY, looking at me. NOT the complement he thought, but still not something that’s happened to me before.

Saturday: date = 8+ mile bike tour of the northern outpost of the city. Authentic and delicious $1 tacos for lunch halfway. Damn fine burger & key lime pie for dinner. I’m sure the mones had worn off even though it wasnt a hot day.

Sunday: date = me jonesing for most amazing pizza ever, so I phone in a take-out order on my way over. I had extra time so I picked him up (blocks away) first. We have to wait for the pizza after all since they “forgot in the rush”, so free draft microbrew (or wine) for both of us. Then “we made the pizza but it’s too crispy–you can have it for free if you want.” Two pizzas and two beers for the price of one local, gourmet pizza! I NEVER get anything for free. 😃

Your journal is so clearly worth following. Thanks for really well written observations. When I saw “Science Student’s Journal” I immediately had higher expectations than normal, and you’ve well met the expectations you couldn’t have known you were up against. 🙂

Thank you! Always nice to “meet” a fellow scientist. 🙂 To be honest, I feel like I’m slacking in my detail. 😛

Ha, I always feel that way about my reports. I suppose that’ll never change as long I do any kind of field work. You seem to have a good sense of both the quest for knowledge that so many are on here and the practical side that makes this so much fun. I feel like any level of detail in your writing will continue to reflect good insights.

Day 46-49, 18-21.July – 2sp 1x IS/b tg, 2sp 1x IS, 1sp 2x IH tg

_Monday_  
Teach for three hours. Was up til ~5am, because I didn’t feel well and had no books or computer (for online shows) to soothe me, but I was relatively ok the next day. So worn out from that class I completely forgot about my lab meeting (until I remembered on Thursday). Stopped by the library to order books, and I went home and vegged, and felt bad about that.

_Tuesday_  
Teaching again. Up late again the night before. Worn out again. Recovered enough to make it to the grocery store. Quite a few looks from guys shopping with their gals – that’s a new one for me (at least for me to notice). Tried redeeming my recyclables, but the machine jammed midway. Also got my computer returned – $500 part & labor & cleaning = free, since it was a manufacturer defect. Slept earlier /easier since I had something relaxing to watch before bed.

_Wednesday_  
I had no plans, so no mones. But a late night date. Note: This combo will go a LONG way to overcoming my “victim’s” back pains and exhaustion (he didn’t tell me about those til after). 😉

_Thursday_  
Teaching again. Worn out again to the degree I forgot about the weekly grad student happy hour until it was long over (if indeed, anyone did go, I don’t know). Vegged again, but I did get some cleaning done in preparation for the weekend, so didn’t feel _as_ bad.

_I’ve not been able to recover after class in time to motivate myself to go to the gym before it closes at 8pm. Or to check out the running trails in the unexplored (by me), unlit, forested park._

_I’m not sure I can say the mellower, but needier vibe I’m getting from my (male) students is due to the increased IS/b or rather that the mellow is due to their familiarity with me and the situation and the neediness is my perception due to my exasperation with their inability to make a sudden transformation to self-sufficiency. 😃 The gals I think are used to working methodically and on their own, so don’t seem as needy, but they also aren’t as impatiently demanding/expectant of my time. The gals are friendly and cheerful, and don’t seem the least offput. 🙂_

Reorders

I’ve had to reorder IS/b tg – I wanted the blue bottle and at least 2x, since the fragrance gets to me, but it wasn’t in stock, and now the tg is even gone. I went to order the blue bottle of the IH of which I’m nearly out, waited a bit to find some substitute to the IS/b (I’m really liking it!), and now the IH is only in tg. And to get to the free shipping (≥$60) level, I need to add a few things. Unsolicited suggestions were MX 397 & 398 as well as the TAx line – can I get some discussion going?

I must say, I’ve not even finished my IS/b exploration, or started the [P74](https://a314.com/product/p74/) that was recommended, and I was hoping to not have too many to tempt me, but if the instants are limited…

Thanks! I’ll have to think about it – won’t work with my points and whatnot, and that’s the only way I can justify all this in my budget so far. Most likely I’ll “think” so long it will pass me by. (I _really_ need to get my ADD prescription filled–it’s only taken me 9 months so far…)😮

Day 51-53, 23-25.July – 2sp 1x IS/b tg, 2sp 1x IS, 1sp 2x IH tg – FERMENTING IDEAS

_Friday_  
Errand running and lots of cleaning done. Date with dinner out – keep meaning to grill or stirfry together but we’re usually too exhausted to “get it together.”

_Saturday_  
Berry festival, bottle redemption, battery & snack buying for the hike, flashlight and giant bubblewand buying (also some 4” ‘superballs’ – AWESOME). I drove the round trip since this is the first time I’ve had my car and he hasn’t had his dog – no dogs in my new car! 2 mile underground “scramble” with 8’ sheer freeclimb faces = “hike” according to the Ape Caves (lava tubes of Mt. St. Helens) description! 😛

Fantastic authentic Mexican tacos for dinner, with amazing chips and a truly Perfect Margarita (20 oz, and STRONG – never been there before, so I don’t know if that’s normal there). Then we each ordered a single scoop at the gourmet ice cream shop and got HUGE ones – again, a new place, so no idea if it’s normal.)

_Sunday_  
Another date. A different (and much more reasonably priced) Mexican place. He was very forthcoming about finances (I’ve no idea if this is his “normal” or if it’s the IH.) He asked if I’ve ever wanted kids (I have/do). I never bring these things up, he just volunteers. Sometimes I continue the conversation a little; sometimes I don’t. We also discussed cooking more (my idea – I’m not liking that he spends so much; seems it could be spent more effectively, like tonight’s happy hour meal, and using Groupon, so we can do MORE). 😃

We’ve not discussed exclusivity, and he’s not changed his dating profile status, but he has said he “wants to be with me for a very long time” and it’s his “goal in life to make [me] happy.” He’s not sure he wants a house again, since his ex-wife divorced him as soon as the mortgage went adjustable-rate, and though he misses the house, “he loved it, but it was in a bad neighborhood.”

He knows I’ve a friend coming to visit next week, and asked if “this person” has to be picked up at the airport, instead of taking transit. So he’s not assuming my friend is female. My friend is a guy from the dating site that is flying from another state to meet me. We started talking via journal commenting, and I made flippant remark about how he shows up after I move 900 miles _further_ away (I lived about an hour away from him until New Year’s). We started emailing under the auspices of occasional talking with a fellow conversationalist. Our first phone conversation was _15 hours_. He’s told his best friend and two daughters about me (he’s a widower; normally I won’t date single parents to avoid kid-juggling and baby-mama-drama). They want to meet me, “when” I come visit. I’m a bit nervous—NEVER done anything like this, but he’s staying in a hotel until / if I say otherwise. It seems pointless – I can’t stand the idea of EVER moving back, and I’ve mentioned I’d never be able to live away from a metropolis given my future career. (He lives in a more wilderness-type area.) He did mention he doesn’t _really_ have ties to the area. But still. I feel like I have a decision I have to make. Since I’ve _never_ done that before in any sort of relationship-arena (my thoughts before were always along the lines of “take what’s presented or be alone,” not that more might come along…). And I’m not sure that _either_ is that good for me, or if it’s my being over analytical and worried.

Vacation and Computer failure…

So the SoCal guy came to visit for a week – I wasn’t online much. 😃  
And…when the motherboard had to be replaced (after 4 years) due to a manufacturing defect, they did something to make my screen go all wonky, so I’ve not been online much, nor will I be while they ship it off to Texas for replacement.

Damn, girl. I’ve been there - for months when my pc got Trojanned. Fried the drive - but my stuff was retrievable. Not so, the second. ☹ Hope you get your replacement soon.🙂

01.Aug – LAST of my IS/b (3 sprays, to go, on chest); 1 spray 2x IH to go on nape, 2 sprays 2x IS on forearms.

Meet the SoCal guy for the first time at the nearby coffee shop since I wasn’t feeling well enough to get up three hours earlier to drive and pick him up at the airport. He’s ALL smiles! Walk back to my place, (pick up my AD package\*) talk a bit, go out for lunch. Take an easy day – no agenda. It takes a _long_ time for that first hand-holding/arm brush; I’m not certain if he likes me “in that way” after finally meeting me. I’m fine with the slow pace, since it lets me relax, but still I’m wondering. Went out for dinner too, some snugging later. 🙂

02-04.Aug – 1 spray 2x IH on nape, 2 sprays 2x IS on forearms.  
…[It’s become my “standard base”, at least until I get more IS/b and IH (ran out of that too) so I can finish the sweet spot testing – I think I’ve only “ghosted” if I wear _just_ IH alone. Well not so much “ghosted” as no “hits” beyond those I’d get “naked.”]…  
ALSO – 1 spray MX 397 to chest. OMG this is so YUMMY (I don’t know the fragrance, everything else is Neroli). It clashes a bit with the [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/), and later fades to a more synthetic-type smell.

3 days of touring around town – Powell’s, OMSI, the aerial tram, and all sorts of awesome restaurants and local sights. He’s paying for most of the meals out, but I’m buying the groceries and cooking some at home, and otherwise trying to find deals and using my discounts. I pay for the museum membership (been meaning to get one) that lets me bring a guest, and we spend HOURS – we still miss parts because we stay up too late, AND get a very late start in the mornings, because of “other” activities. 😉 (He seems fine with paying for everything, but doesn’t object to my paying, and I don’t want the entire burden falling on him.)

He also insisted we go to Target and fill my prescription for my temporary ADD meds–he has ADHD as well, and to be honest, I’m not sure I could handle that when we’re both unmedicated, as much of this weekend was.

05-07.Aug – 1 spray 2x IH on nape, 2 sprays 2x IS on forearms, 2 sprays MX 397 to chest.

3 days of road trips –  
• _Tillamook ice cream & cheese factory_ isn’t as great as I’d hoped, and after seeing all that obesity we kind of want to order salads instead of ice cream and fudge. At _Cannon Beach_ the beach bike place is closed since it’s so late, but we walk around, take pictures, and fly my stunt kite in more gales of laughter than wind. Up the road to _Seaside_ to find a seafood restaurant; I get stopped by a cop on the way for going 5 over the 20mph – I’d just turned onto the road and not seen the sign. I’ve no record, and he just gives me a warning, and tells me I was supposed to change my driver’s license within 30 days of moving to this state. I didn’t have a car until this last month, and I wanted to get my new glasses first, but I didn’t tell him that. I’ve only gotten one speeding ticket for doing 95 in a 65 in Northern California (he wrote it as 75), so I’m not sure that’s a “hit”. I was hardly nervous–I’m good with projecting a lack of stage fright. 😛

• Thanks to Groupon, a sternwheeler cruise on the Columbia at _Cascade Locks_ was stunning! My date forgot his wallet at home (he JUST realized when we were walking up to present ID), and the captain said he’d let me “vouch for him, but that means she’s your boss for the day; can you handle that?” Again, I don’t think that’s an unusual effect for me, especially in this region where people are just more relaxed. They wouldn’t let us get the $10 café rebate since we lost the coupon, but then we found it and had a delightful meal for $4.50 for two of us. Up the way at _Timberline Lodge_ at Mt. Hood, we were briefly silly in the snow, took lots of pics, and shared Elk Sausage and Bacon Mashed Potatoes–no one went out of their way to accommodate us in the packed restaurants, but then again, I’ve not been reapplying mid-way through the day.

• Seattle: Traffic turned the 3 hour drive to 4, but neither of us got too stressed. _Pike Place Market_ – we had fun, but it kind of overwhelmed both of us. Lovely Pirogy for lunch, and all sorts of samples. A tour through a gourmet grocer. The _Butterfly House_ at the Pacific Science Center (free with the OMSI membership!). We were naughty and put dabs of honey on our noses, but only had 20 minutes. Still butterflies landed on our shoulders. (That’s happened to me before.) _Experience Music Project_ – he’d seen it; I’d forgotten about it. He wanted to see the SciFi part, and the coupon didn’t work – we only had 35 minutes and they made us pay full price, but it was awesome. _Space Needle_ at sunset – so many pictures and delicious views. A cup of great clam chowder and he had a Bacon-onion gourmet dog. I actually had a couple bites, and I’ve not eaten a hot dog since I was 13. He drove home since my hip was screaming, but the California-following distance still made me nervous.

08.Aug – 1 spray 2x IH on nape, 2 sprays 2x IS on forearms, 2 sprays MX 397 to chest.

Last day; stayed in. We made a healthy gourmet snack buffet, and I drove him to the airport.

We basically lived together for 7.5 days upon our first meeting. I did get a little irked occasionally, but that could be low-food or ADD-overwhelmed. Mostly it was fun and silly with some philosophizing – we even discussed religion and politics to some extent. 😮 He also read to me out of his favorite book as I drove or rested. He said he didn’t think he’d had any bad meal while he was here, and not of even the richer foods made him ill–he has no gallbladder.

He went home and “reported” to his daughters. Now they’re more excited to meet me, and he wants me to fly down to visit him next month. Oh, and the second day, on the streetcar, a stranger asked what brought him to visit our fair city. When he pointed to me, the stranger asked if I was his fiancée – we looked at each other and laughed, but he said “that’s not a bad idea.” 😮 No hopes or dreams on my part, I’m not foolish. Just reporting what I heard. And while I thought he was crazy, at least I didn’t think he was insane. 😛

- The AD Order – I can’t express how amazing you guys are! Everything I wanted (that was in stock) and more! Thanks for the free gift! (Just an FYI, the to go bottles still leaked, but I’m not worried about it.) 🆒

Also:  
He said he liked how I wear so many dresses (skirts and tops really), and asked if there was anywhere I CAN’T go in heels, because I walked a few feet up the remnants of a snowdrift, and all I said was my toes are getting chilly. (I buy comfy, “trail-rated” timelessly classic sandals, that I can RUN in if need be, and HAVE, to catch transit.)  
A waitress at the soda fountain said she loves it when people sing–I’d not realized I was. A couple days later, he said he was glad I can sing, since he can’t. (He was world class drumline member, so is actually musical.)

He also told me lots of guys were checking me out and a few ladies would stare and correct their posture/adjust their clothes. AND he wants a Tshirt that says YES and YES, with an arrow pointing at me. (they’re real, and they’re FANTASTIC). 😛

Just now a (20s) guy approached me, grinning, from 30 feet upwind, to say if he “had music, [he’d] be dancing with” me, as I was waiting for the train–ALL ME, since he was upwind!

All just you, sometimes people don’t need (or knead) the frosting. 😛 Can be sure that more than one was outta range. So, it is you. Just a frosted, olfactorily (new word) decorated. Those that don’t get to smell were still looking - 😛😉
