| Chris, Geordie, and Monika, the threesome that let me hang out with them in the Industrial Microbiology class, would tell me that I have my priorities right. I should be studying really hard for my midterm in Advanced Eukaryotic Microbiology which turns up on the calender for tomorrow, but actually, I'm smelling the amazing smell of fresh chocolate chip cookies. I need a stack to take to school tomorrow for the threesome and their friend, Gabriel.
Oh, and I'm listening to Christmas music, cranked up high enough to make me forget about things like differing loci among varying mating types in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (it also is making me forget to italicize the genus and species name of this yeast).
Isn't life a good thing?
(But lest Jennifer reads this post, yes, I am studying hard, uh, between strains of the olfactory nerves.) | | |
| So beyond all science students' views on arts classes in university (which, for political reasons and because I disagree with those views, I shall not delineate here), I'm glad our Immunology II class is held in a room where some English class is held just before us.
Today the writing on the wall proclaimed the following:
WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS A SAVAGE
Of course, depending on the punctuation, the speaker is either a grouchy chauvinist or a nasty feminist.
Yes, it's an old ploy of teaching grammar and I've seen this before, but... it still was fascinating! I'm glad to study Immunology, but I'm still glad that somebody cares about English.

| Jenn came to my favourite class with me today!

| Today I did a Big, Brave Thing.
Adam, Vin, and I were walking from class to the lounge. There was some representative for Mastercard, trying to get people to apply for this particular credit card. So I did, not because I needed yet another card, but because they offer a free four year subscription to the Student Price Card (for which I already pay a bit each year). Plus, I wanted to sign up, 'cause that's a Big, Brave Thing to do.
Of course, they gave a gift to all those who applied for a card. I GOT A USB FLASH DRIVE! Isn't that exciting? Folks, the capacity of this beautiful darling of a flash drive is 31.2 MB. (I mean, after formatting it's less than 30 MB.)
And, naively enough, here I didn't even know that in the year of our Lord 2008 one could get a flash drive under 128 MB. I plan to keep this in my collection of novel antiques.

| Permit me to pop my head out of my hole long enough to say...
ONE MORE WEEK!!! I have tomorrow's classes, and then three exams next week. Then I am finished with the semester.
And then Jennifer comes.
