Knock on wood

Yay for updating once a week. =/

So... let's see what's happened over the past week. Started with a genetics/cmb retreat on Monday, which was a lot more fun than last year. Apparently I AM getting more interested in science as I go, even though it kind of feels like it's going the other direction. That went from 9am to 8pm, so I basically did that and went to bed shortly afterwards.
Tuesday was lab work and hanging out with friends. I bought Champions Online and got a free month (pretty standard with MMOs) so I tried that out and it seems pretty fun. Very different from WoW in the mechanics sense, but I'm not sure it'll take over my MMO time. I've been playing Fiesta too, which is a free MMO that's good to play with other people since it doesn't involve paying for anything.
Yesterday was the first day of classes which meant lab work from 9-4ish except for about an hour and a half (two hour classes that both ended early) of classes during the day. Normally I'll have two hours of class Monday and two Wednesday, but it looks like there'll be a fair amount of out of class work, so we'll see how much time they actually take.
Today I've done some lab work and had lunch and looked at a fellowship application. The application kind of makes me want to run scared, but it's basically a grant application only a bit shorter, so I really should start doing them at some point. I just wish it didn't involve like 10 pages of writing. My lab work's actually WORKING though, which is always awesome. I just need to order some stuff to check that what I have is right and we can call it good and move on. This part of my side project has taken far too long already... I just hope I don't have to redo anything.
