Just got an email from my SRO for the study section that was missed in October. Good news is that they are trying to reschedule ASAP (Dec/Jan). The bad news is that CSR is mandating that only the the top third (not half) of applications will get discussed for the next 2 rounds.

The label on my Noosa yogurt this morning promises "a delightful escape." Not sure how that is possible given [gestures to everything everywhere all at once], but am willing to try and will report back. Stay tuned.
