Grant/term paper/thing is due Friday at 5. Then I get my life back.

I almost have specific aims laid out. But one of my experiments requires putting two genes under inducable promoters at the same time, and having them on and off at different times. There must be an easier way to accomplish this.

I'm going to attempt to read thirty pages of papers for class tomorrow, and then take what I will call a "nap" before waking up early to go meet with my PI so she can explain to me, once again, exactly what my rotation project is.

G'night.

P.S. Tried to take a 1-hour nap at 7:30 pm last night. ...Woke up at 2 am, ate slice of cheesecake, went back to bed, and woke up at 8 this morning. I think my body is trying to say something....

P.P.S. I think it's time to see a doctor about the cramps again. And thus begins another round of "we have no idea what's wrong with you."

...then I get my life back... (uh huh Riiiight)

P.S. Umm, you like cheesecake?

P.P.S. "...but here is a prescription for paint killers so you won't bother us anymore."

Ahh life is great isn't it?

No really! As soon as I turn this paper in, I can do fun things like... see my friends. And stay in lab more than an hour at a time. And do my homework at a reasonable hour and not at 2 am. And have free time again!

P.S. Not only do I like cheesecake, I MADE that cheesecake.

P.P.S. I forgot there were still people out there who were so naive... If only painkillers actually worked....
They gave me some really creepy new experimental drug last year that was supposed to work wonders, and it just barely took the edge off.
(I had surgery for this a year and a half ago, and they found a rare form of cyst that they said might come back, but they're too small to see on ultrasounds. So the only way to know if they're back is to have another surgery. And the only way to treat them is to have another surgery.)
