whee?
So I'm here updating from the lab on another sloooow day.
I was supposed to be watching some of the grad students run ELISA assays (which is what I spent 2 summers ago doing every day by myself). Not exactly stimulating.. it's just washes and incubations followed by more washes and more sitting around. But the girl who's supposed to do it isn't here yet. *sweatdrop* So far I've read a paper, done water quality tests on oyster tank water and gone upstairs to see where they're going to be moving the oysters. My one saving grace is that tomorrow looks like it's going to be another busy one. They've order 6 human blood samples so I'm going to be helping Milton again with processing and such. It works out well cuz then I have my animal handling training session right when the incubation will be starting and then I'd get back just in time to help transfer the plates. Whee for feeling useful.
My dad put in the order for the stuff to set up internet at our house. So hopefully it will all get to the house before Friday so I can set it up and properly update the newly formatted PC we have downstairs. I'm just crossing my fingers that the piece of crap has an ethernet card. As it is we already need to drop $ for a router. Ah adventures. I figure, if all else fails, when Jacob comes to get me on Friday I can send him to go make it work. 0=)
I don't know if I'm hungry or just still nauseous. I started new meds 2 days ago and last night I wasn't feeling so great. I'm hoping that doesn't continue cuz it's going to be a pain to have to switch. *sigh*
I've also updated my manga count. I'm at 169 now and I need to stop and buy the last volume of MeruPuri on my way home. It's the last volume and the 3rd one stopped at such a bad place. *sweatdrop* I'm not obssessed... really. I had picked up volume one on a whim cuz Jess really likes it and i figured, why the hell not? And then I read it and yesterday I had to go get 2 and 3. And then I realized I *really* like the series and I need the last volume...... grawr.
anyway, time for lunch...
