I realize how redundantly apologetic I am. And I realize how ridiculous that sounds. So I'll stop.
So basically this summer I've been working as a research assistant in this lab at school, and my fellow experimental friends are:

fruit flies.
The job's been fun and I've been compensated this whole time. But now the actual research program is over and I'm basically still going to go into work to keep these flies alive. I don't yet know how I feel about this. But work has definitely taken up almost all of my time this summer which saddens me.
I still haven't seen Harry Potter HBP for goodness' sake. ildfhlkjdhgilthj. It's driving me nuts. There's also been a whole lot of family stuff going on which has been fun but again bery draining in terms of limited hours of sleep and constantly being "on"
But nonetheless satisfying, slightly busy, summer thus far. I'm definitely not looking forward to the semester starting soon.
In terms of weather I hope those outside of New York have been experiencing a lot less rain, and a lot more sun. It's literally been over 90 degrees only twice since June. It's August 2nd now. And it's raining outside or thundering actually as I speak. INSANE.
I'm still hesitant to place one of those HIATUS signs on my journal because I do secretly read other people's entries (creeper I know) but what with this apparently new LJ setting that might not happen so much anymore. But I'm wondering if I will be able to become an active LJ-er again once the semester starts. Keeping hopes up still but I guess we'll see what happens.
Hope everyone's enjoying the summertime and whatnot. I feel weird 'catching' up like every 8 weeks and then never visiting again. I miss ya folks on the flist =/ ( I also wish LJ had better emoticons or whatever they're called).
