New professor

The second half of my eukaryotic genetics class (don't worry about knowing what that means) starts today and the the professor teaching it switched out. The last one was pretty hard to pay attention to (something about his voice made it hard to keep focused), so hopefully this one will be better. So far he's a pretty entertaining, just by his behavior and his manner of speech, and he seems to like his water bottle. I guess we'll see.

In other news: actual news! The space shuttle carrying a new solar arrays for the international space station finally launched today (it's been delayed for a number of reasons). This will make the station the second brightest body in the night sky, after the moon. Apparently this means Venus goes to number 3. I don't really keep up on these things, but it's pretty neat nonetheless.
