Yesterday I woke up bright-eyed and bushy tailed and excited about working on something that would make a huge dent in my thesis, if only I could get it... It seems true, just the details of the proof have been escaping me. Then, as I'm feeling on the top of the world, I held a pen in my mouth and... cracked my bottom front tooth! Really?!
