Classes makes the day go faster

The genetics course continues to be three hours long despite of the promise that it should be shorter. I'll hold out for another week before giving up all hope. The reading material is usually quite long too. There was a 23 paged monster this week. At some point, around figure Too Many, I read "controls" as "carrots" for some reason and had a moment of utter incomprehension. Then I decided I needed a break from the paper.

My PI poked me yesterday and informed me he somehow might probably have found a collaborator to work on the zebrafish aspect of the evolution portion of my project. Then he insisted on spending nearly two hours (or so it felt like) looking through my sections today. (Mostly pointing out their flaws, of course, but at least I know the ones he looked are ARE bad quality so it wasn't as bad as it could've been). He is strange and strangely angry at the image program that came with the camera. I noted that he has gotten considerably less PG since I joined the lab, though usually directed at things not me, so I'm not entirely sure what to make of it.

Cold has gotten much better now. I suspect I may have passed it on to Wendy.
