Alot out of Me

Well, I am confronted again with the eternal problem of needing to go to sleep, but wanting to reflect on my day and feel like I have talked with you all. Ok, at least fifteen minutes is acceptable. . . .

Today has been a good day, although it's been less than satisfying. I slept in--having stumbled in last night at 2AM (giddily). I woke up in a panic, realizing I hadn't scheduled my microscopy lab for the week, and it was possibly I had been slated for Tuesday. But thankfully, I was not--fear woke me up, and coffee kept me that way.

COULD IT BE ANY MORE GORGEOUS OUTSIDE? It was nigh' 70 degrees out, and bright shining when I finally made my way to the bus stop. On the number 50 bus, I settled in to reading my Cowboy Wally comic book, loaned to me by the lovely Ben. The bus grumbled on, and at some point I heard a voice behind me ask "What are you readin, stranger?" --a subsequent moment of panic while I tried to match the voice to hopefully someone I knew. Turned out it was Jeremy of the Longhair (from Sharon's Lab). It's always so unexpected to run into someone else you know on the bus! Yay for non-strangers!

I got on campus, ate lunch, and prepared for a call from Ned at 2PM. Originally, I had planned to spend the day being very productive and making some amino acid solutions. Unfortunately, by the time I got around to working on them later in the evening, I realized I didn't have all the equipment ,reagents, and sanity I would need. Sarah helped me out and kept me company while I swore at the flask containing Leucine that wouldn't go into solution. I left feeling like I didn't accomplish near as much as I wanted to, and that likely I'd wander in Wednesday morning and find out all my problems were solvable in five minutes, if only I had asked about them earlier.

Well, I wanted to talk a little bit about Life, and what a lovely evening Monday was, but now I'm damn sleepy, and I don't want to mess it up. Ok, goodnight.. . zzzz
