i'm still considering traditional chinese medicine- whether it be acupuncture or herbology, but that's another story.

In other news- labbing today. WHOO. been here since 1:30, i'll probably stay until 7/7:30 PM. SO MUCH FUN!

it's not bad. just have to run a gel, which is going to take a while. especially since i started it right now. 6:00 PM?! ugh. i was trying to get out of here by 7:30. guess i'll leave later, eat dinner, watch grey's anatomy with people. yes, i watch that terrible show. oh well. guilty pleasure. it's a good thing to set on the background, too, when doing bios homework.

someone fried our machine. it got solarized- not sure what that means, but someone left their medium-sized gel in the uv tray. they forgot to take it out after having taken a picture of the gel, i suppose, and it got melted onto the tray. so the lab tech's had to clean off the thing multiple times before it got even decent. they ended up ordering another one. but they managed somehow to get it for free. manipulation? powers of persuasion? assets? call it what you will. we get the job done.

people should know better than to call me around 5/6. i'm in lab, getting my lab on. DON'T BOTHER ME!

i tried eating a loquat from a different tree today. still SOUR. i'm going to let them sit for a week and hope squirrels/other people don't get to them first. i only know of two trees so far- gotta find em all.

i can't believe this is how i reward myself after two tests: by going to lab. apparently hesse is in town. apparently he was at jones today. hmm, who knows if i'll go over there tonight then.

i need to brush up on my chinese and spanish. who says foreign languages aren't useful? my parents.

i should probably hang up my cap and gown so that it's wrinkle-free by may. it's been sitting on the floor of my apartment, like most crap that i pick up or don't care to organize.
