update: Birthday, crystilization and new finch
- I'm turned 36 today. Yay, I guess. ;)
- Unfortunately I'm rather preoccupied with academics right now. I have a big (40% of grade) mid-term tomorrow in this Mass Spectroscopy/NMR course I'm taking. I'll be cloistered in studying tonight, and delaying any celebration until Saturday.
- I'm at the point now where the mass of complex information, rules, spectra and calculations on the subject are starting to "crystallize" into a coherent system that makes sense, as opposed to just memorizing a bunch of stuff the professor said in lectures. If I can get to that point tonight or tomorrow, things will go fine.
- On the weekend I adopted a new finch, out of sympathy. She is missing one leg and looked very sad in her cage, so we took her home. Unfortunately she's turned out to be a little terror with my other birds, even with her disability, and I've had to separate her out into a different cage. We might name her "Pirate" or something like that.
