Why is it that whenever I work with a lab partner I always end up making stupid mistakes, especially when I feel like I'm being rushed? And why did my professor feel the need to bring it up in class, in front of everyone, by asking where the DNA ligation was (I had mistakenly put it in the freezer yesterday instead of the fridge which was, btw, - the second mistake I made that lab [grrr])? And thank you so much for doing it right at the beginning of class so I had to sit through the entire hour and fifteen minutes of lecture feeling mortified over my error. Which is what I do. I dwell on things. So it's doubtful I learned very much in class this evening. My lab partner however seem totally unaffected. Must be nice.
But, since it's Wednesday, that means it's French film night! Yay! I get extra credit for my French class just for showing up and watching a French film, which is something I used to do often enough anyway back when I had free time. And tonight's film was actually one I've been wanting to see. So double yay!
A Very Long Engagement, a film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Absolutely beautiful. It was difficult to keep myself from crying in front of my less sensitive classmates, and I don't consider myself to be very weepy in general. It definitely improved my mood. A touching film about hope and love that is neither sappy nor melancholic, but instead is clearly Jeunet. See it if you get a chance.
