I am at home now and am slowly coming to terms with the fact that, what do you know, another quarter's gone. (Eep.) I've one book that I tried to sell back this quarter but, of course, it's ended up being the one that has a new edition coming out so they're not taking it back. I was left with a very heavy book, feeling very foolish, mostly because if I had wanted to keep a genetics book I would've kept the one from bio sci 101 which covered pretty much the same material as this book but had much better explanations and diagrams. Kate knows it as the book with the "glowy worms" on the cover, while my current book is, I think, known as the one with the "colored spaghetti" so there you go-- there's further proof that the 101 book is superior since glowy worms beat colored spaghetti any day. (FYI, it's Genetics by Hartl & Jones vs. Introduction to Genetic Analysis from 101 by I don't know whom.)
The cats are been housed at the vet hospital over break. They looked at me most piteously when I dropped them off at Elk Grove but at least they didn't cry (I think being in the carrier that long finally wore them out).
I can't remember what else I was going to type but, essentially, I'm home, my parents try to feed me a lot (currently have a bowl of pineapple on my desk with toothpicks), I've books, and seeds, and a draft of the introduction part of my thesis that I probably won't be touching at all until next week but you know what? Right now, I don't care.
(Ha yes. Be proud of me.)
