It's vacuuming this week. Yesterday I went and vacuumed the hallway and the entire living room area (and did a little dusting too - why do we have so many dead bugs on the window sills?) and remembered that why vacuuming was such a great way to exercise. Furnitures. It's because of the furnitures. Dragging heavy furnitures around burns loads of calories and create bruises when you're not careful. (Though I was - careful, I mean - but I'm naturally clumsy so it can't be helped.) Also have discovered that though the rabbit's gone traces of her remains (and my how it remains). There are some stains which will require lots of scrubbing, now that I know where the stain removers are. However, as that I have two midterms and a quiz (which will probably be longer than one of my midterms again), I am going to put it off until some other far away, unforeseeable-in-the-immediate-future date.
I know, the timing for the tests this summer is awful, isn't it? And my birthday will fall right before finals week but at least that's usual - and by usual I don't mean that I'm used to it, since thinking about it still makes me twitchy.
Also, this week I got interviewed for a place in Dr. Berry's lab for fall quarter, and I think I may actually have a chance at working in the plant and environmental sciences building. It'll be something on metabolic pathway of Frankia, the bacteria that does the nitrogen-fixing on alders. I'm not very familiar with the tree, but judging by the amount of reading material that's been arriving, I'm about to become very intimately acquainted with the genus. Also, I'll get to do RNA clean up in a lab which I think is way awesome. I have no experience with it, but they have a protocol and they have directions (I kid you not, there are instruction manuals lying about and recipes for buffers) and the doctor assured me that everything does come with its own instructions.
I can follow instructions. If chem has taught me nothing else, it has taught me how to follow instructions.
I wonder if I'll get to run analytical gels....

Furniture is always used as the plural term, i.e. furnitures is not a word.
Does that mean you're not doing anything for your birthday? Anna and Victoria have been asking me. We can wait and have a party when you get back, if you want.
