(no subject)

Lab has been really slow lately. I gave lab meeting on Monday and it went pretty well, but I really haven't had much to do, besides downloading and reading papers. So I've been awfully bored. Today I'm actually doing a Western blot, so I have stuff to do, and hopefully it will give me enough work to do for the next couple of days (I mean, if I mess it up today, then I have to do it again tomorrow...). I can't wait until my project picks up and I have more than one thing going at a time. That probably won't be until after quals, but oh well. I'm looking forward to quals too.

I feel silly for not posting more (especially since I've been complaining about needing to talk), but things aren't actually happening right now. Life pretty much consists of going to lab, trying to amuse myself in between papers, and going home and trying to FEEL like I'm at home in someone else's house. I cannot WAIT for the move. Two more weeks...

Your Score: RAVENCLAW!

You scored 20% Slytherin, 52% Ravenclaw, 32% Gryffindor, and 28% Hufflepuff!

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

If you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind.



Ravenclaws are known for their intelligence, ingenuity, and lifelong thirst for knowledge.

Here it is, the revenge to the tune...

So, since my desktop PC is packed, I have access to virtually none of my music. My laptop has, essentially, nothing on it. This means my music selection has been very sparse lately. I've been listening to Mika, Death Cab for Cutie, Elliott Smith, Matt Nathanson (really, just one song of his, because I can't find him on the internet, which is especially frustrating since I HAVE both CDs somewhere in my ten thousand boxes), the Aquabats, and Wilco. I also went out and found Harry and the Potters and that one song Hey There Delilah by the Plain White Ts, 'cause it's been stuck in my head for a few days. Any suggestions for new bands to look into, keeping these tastes in mind?

(Also, as to my earlier request for books--I have solved the dilemma by re-reading HP7 three pages at a time, which will surely last me until quals start. Maybe I should just break down and order something from Amazon, since I can't seem to find the time to go to an actual bookstore....)

(Also also, lab was good today. I actually got to DO stuff. Hurrah!!)
