Weeee! why work on your lab meeting handout when you can BLOG?!

Just a slight sampling of procrastination. The week has flown by, as always, and Friday is nearly here. I'm giving lab meeting tomorrow. Technically, this is a weekly event where one of us presents a little of what they've been up to in the lab since the last time they presented. The function of this excersize is to keep everyone informed on what other folks in the lab are up to, and troubleshooting, troubleshooting, troubleshooting. And lord is my project in need of troubleshooting. . .

This weekend is another recruiting weekend for the MDTP program, which means senior-level undergrads will be visiting our departments and interviewing with our PI's and getting heaps of free meals to boot! I'm not hosting a student this weekend, so I might actually have some free time to go play downtown, which I've been craving lately with the change to nicer weather. State Street is pretty magical, what with all the little shops and peoplewatching to enjoy.

Oh ladies and gentlemen, the spring fever is growing ever more fierce in me. My feet are craving sandles and I want to go picnic and fly kites and smell the soil again. It is still a way's off, and so I put it on the shelf with my ocean fever, waiting for the lab-baby fever, daydreaming about everything under the sun instead of paying attention in lecture-fever . . . .

Well, hopefully I'll get some useful input on my project tomorrow. Data fever is also upon me, and man would it be awesome to move past making mutants to actually using them in cool experiments.
