My day with Dr. Panda

Today I got to hang out with Matthew's Mommy, otherwise known as Dr. Panda. She just finished school and now she's something called a "postdoctoral fellow."  I don't know what that is exactly, but it sounds cool.  Here I am outside her office building:

And here I am helping her write a report:

They drink a lot of coffee here. I asked one of the graduate students if he'd help me get some coffee...

...but then I changed my mind and decided to have a cup of tea.

That same graduate student later reminisced about a toy monkey he had as a kid that he said looked a lot like me. He said he used to turn that monkey into a football.  Matthew's Mommy asked if she could see what that looked like.

(I was not amused.)

Matthew's Mommy needed to get some work done.  Here I am waiting patiently outside her office door.

Overall, I'd say my day was pretty interesting, but I hope I get permission to spend a day with Matthew at school because honestly, other than the monkey-as-football episode, that sounds like it would be a lot more fun.
