I passed my comps.  YES!  I'm awesome.  That means this the blog post of an official PhD candidate.

My new strategy for combatting my incredibly dry and itchy scalp is to wash my hair as little as possible, and when I do have to wash it, I alternate between Head and Shoulders Intensive Treatment and Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo.  The Neutrogena one actually works better.  But the "active ingredient" in it is coal tar extract.  Seriously?  And it smells like it too.  So I pretty much get to choose between my hair being dirty, smelling like tar, or crusted in blood from my mutilated scalp.

To move on to more pleasant topics, in two weeks some friends and I are going skiing for the weekend.  Hooray!  Then on Feb 27th I fly to Colombia for a glorious sunshine-filled 3 week vacation!  But right now I get to go home from work!
