Hell is grading lab reports and quizzes

I'm pretty convinced of this now. Yes, yes, mainly it's my fault for not getting started on this batch early enough, so that now I'm buried in work, although I'm done with the quizzes and should be able to finish up this report madness tonight, at some point.

My work with the squid had me up "early" on Sunday morning, around 9AM. I'm well aware that 9AM is nowhere near early (especially compared to the 6:30AM timepoint I had to collect THIS morning) but you must understand what a crime it is to leave a warm, cozy, quiet sunday bed on a beautiful mid-60's day to go off and do labwork and grade things.

Other big news was getting to see in person Lynn Margulis

She's one of those people, a legend in the field, that you hear about but never think you'll actually see eating lasagna at a potluck. I feel bad about being most excited about who whe was married to, but hell, I'm in awe of her as well. She was married to Carl Sagan!!! Holy crap! My degrees of seperation network got that much shorter for alot of cool people. This keeps happening more and more, meeting huge names in the field of science, symbiosis, and microbiology. It kindof rules.

Back to grading hell. Maybe I'll be saved by Reno 911 soon. . .
