Education is important

Mom send me a link about the moon + stars specialness that was last night, which I didn't actually get to see since the sky was overcast when I was out and by the time it cleared up I was more than ready to go to bed. But see, the sky is smiling! (Note: the link is to CReader, do not click if you don't have your firewall & antivirus software handy, because CReader tends to install junk on your computer when you aren't looking--and sometimes even when you are looking.)

Which reminds me that mom showed me a manga-styled illustration the other day and told me "See? Just like your drawing style!" (She'd seen some of the doodles I have around, mostly of Alice & the Lunatic Guys because those doodles tend to show up on the margins of random documents / envelops.) To which I said "Uhhhh, no, not really." (I mean yes, there're some similarities except no, I don't really think what I draw is manga.)

Poor mom, she tries so hard. I don't think she can recognize my handwriting, still.

For everyone who goes to a UC, apparently the consortium-whatsit purchased a bunch of licenses so now we can download a bunch of database stuff (including software), such as the Merck Index, from CambridgeSoft. It's a ChemBioDraw thing, which I don't entirely understand but still think might be handy.

On the glycosylation and vesicular transport module this week, doing something about diseases that have names too long to remember: Carbohydrate-Deficient Glycoprotein Syndromes and Cranio-lenticulo-sutural dysplasia. Have five papers to read, finished two and a half. Am currently on the ninth page of lab report which contains three pages of citation and about five pages of figures / tables. Thank you Lucy for agreeing to edit. I think you'll enjoy looking at the docking figures. They're very shiny.
