kai shek... calling me at lab... distracting me from cooling down my gel so that i can run my samples... oh well... i was surprised that she knew what a loquat was, unlike everybody else. reminded her of her dad's place, i guess, with loquat trees all over.
oh tina t...
maybe i'll go to church for easter. commercialized easter- the chocolates and peeps and other candies... so gross.
planning on passover dishes- kong xin cai and asparagus... i can't use soy sauce, can't use bean curd... ugh, this is why nobody should ascribe to any religion- dietary restrictions on a few days out of the entire year- what a waste of time. i'm sure people would be much happier eating whatever they want, ANY time of the year. but it's ok, since i've found some dishes/sauces that don't infringe upon these ludicrous rules.
crossing my fingers and hoping that i get the expected genomic bands with my primers. here's to hoping.
in the meantime, i'll be reading up on my chinese cookbook, or complications- a medical book written by some doctor about things going amiss in surgery? i should probably read up on the guys' website for ucsf- i've only looked at the links concerning living there, transportation, pubs; nothing about the research, protocols, transgenics. at least i'd get to work with mice this time and kill them myself as opposed to letting the other people in lab hand me an eppendorf vial with the tail DNA.
holy jeez is Lu balding?! mathew also looks very child-like in his pictures, not that that's a bad thing.

crazed, ordinary, overwhelming
new hits: [oklahoma city, clackamas]
apples to apples: you have to know how the other person thinks, or at least what they would pick. picking apples, hah. no time to exercise?
why do i get the feeling that drab is reading my blog? leaving me these mysterious hints/phrases that seem to be cut out of various posts of mine. example- 15 pounds of muscle.
cassie found out that i'm bulimic. UH OH, what am i going to do?! all this anxiety and worry- i think i'll throw up to relieve my stomach jitters.
why do people crave attention? then there's others who do things to make sure that they're included in the group activity- to feel included.
i don't think i want to go to northern california anymore. i'm trying to leave the rice part of my life behind, but i'll only end up going towards people that i know from there. ugh, drab- such a tease.
herbology, cooking, medicine, research. i could add back breakdancing and hiphop, but i should probably focus on what's MORE important. can you really do it all in one lifetime?
bradford assay posed a question to me tonight: why don't i diversify? the thing is i could, but then i wouldn't be so good at everything. specialization. division of labor. but in that division, there's even more divisions. does that make things more efficient? specialties in medicine. specialties in cooking. you don't ever see cooking shows battle it out for the better regional foods- it's usually battles over a common ingredient, prepared in their style.
i could tell crassie was trying to figure out my birthday tonight- trying to look at my wallet, trying to get sophie to ask me. it doesn't matter to me if you've forgotten; some people just aren't good with numbers.
this guy that i could be working with- a lot of publications in PNAS and Nature. is that good? i'm not into publications/how prestigious a publication in each literary magazine is. My other bioc degree candidates might know.
just because i like california doesn't necessarily mean i want to go there.
I sent in my job application. It's kind of scary. I just went from wishful thinking to now uncertainty about whether or not I can get this job. You go from seemingly endless possibility to a response that may be instant acceptance/rejection.
I'll have to apply to classes for Winter 2007 since the deadline's past for the fall. Ugh. Although I can still apply to the summer session. Isn't that weird?

peaches n' cream

so i made a decision today to gain back the 15 pounds that i lost- only it would be 15 pounds of muscle. i started my calisthenics again tonight. i'm sure gaining 15 pounds in a month will be easy, espcially since my workload's getting less as i get closer to graduation.
too bad i can't do too many pullups. that would speed up my progress even more.
crassie told me hot pockets had a lot of fat. i looked through my shallow trash can and saw that one hot pocket has 9 g of fat- 44% of my daily recommended value. i ate 4 today, 4 last night, not including the two sandwiches i had today with 16 slices of turkey and mayonaisse, pickles, and zapp's potato chips- 1/3 of the bag. MMM food.
i gave away my smokes to pamiam today. apparently her bf loooooves clove cig's.
i get tired of the kid i mentor sometimes. too hyperactive. he was sitting on the table today. and flirting with the guys beside us on either side to get their snacks. too cocky about his math skills. annoyed me. he does that again... and i won't go to mentoring. actually i don't have mentoring next week. YES!
i exercised for only 5 minutes tonight. dead tired. definitely going to be in pain tomorrow morning. hope i'm not too exhausted for class, considering it's a 3-day school week, which i did not find out until today.
