Pre-midterm silliness
Oh man. This has been a killer week. I'm soooo tired. Luckily it's Thursday. Unluckily, Thursday is my busiest day, and Friday is going to be a solid day of fixing the mistakes I made in lab Wednesday. So the weekend is kind of far away at this point.
Midterm today. *sigh* Oh well. I feel sort of ready. I should go over the material once more before I leave. I should make some sort of lunchthing before I leave....
I've decided that knitting is a bad thing. All I want to do is hide in my bedroom, listen to NPR, and knit things. I want to work on the shawl, but it takes me ten minutes to knit one row now, and I just don't have an hour to devote to knitting six rows. And the wire's fun to knit, but it really needs to be done in ten-minute chunks throughout a day so that my hands don't get too sore, and I really don't have all that many ten-minute chunks. I usually fill them with reading papers, anyway.
Okay. I'm done complaining for now. I'm gonna go drink some coffee and review splicing again.
Quick! Which two proteins compose the Commitment Complex, and where in the pre-mRNA transcript do they bind?
a) U1 and U3, binding the 5' ss and 3' ss
b) BBP and U2AF, binding the branch point
c) U2 and U4, binding the branch point and 3' ss
d) U and me, who love each other very much, binding the bottom of a marriage contract.
(I shouldn't update lj before I have coffee.)
(Also, I'm going to go upload some more coffee icons, because mine are insufficient.)

Oh, I feel very much the same way.
Good luck on your midterm!
Do you like fresh coffee or instant coffee? I bought a small box of single-serving Folgers the other day, with the intent of adding lots of CoffeeMate and Splenda to make it drinkable (I can't drink black coffee....those who can are hard-core).

The midterm was... well, I'll post about it here in a minute.
I like fresh coffee. I'm one of the hardcore people that drinks it black. :-P I guess I don't technically drink it black, because I usually add sugar, but I can drink it black, and I do sometimes. I had to work up to it, though. I'm sort of allergic to milk, so I would use a small amount in my coffee at first, and then a tiny tiny amount, and then finally none, until I got used to the strength of the coffee.
Also, I can't drink weak coffee. It tastes like brown water.
