Days and Times

My research advisor has advised me to continue in the lab — I think I will, at least until my project is done. Juggling school, J&J, research, library job, and the desired level of sanity could be an interesting feat. If it all works out, it'll be great. If it becomes hectic, I think I'll drop things in this order: desired level of sanity (inevitable), J&J, then research (or research before J&J if I can cram it into winter break). The library job (which = mostly study time) goes hand in hand with school, so things would have to be pretty strange for me to drop it.

I gave CS a hand at packing her stuff the other day. We had a royal battle with the water and air in her water bed. We wanted it through the hose and out the window, but it took a while to get the siphon going, and once we did, air invariably interferred with our progress. Once it was started, though, gravity and atmospheric pressure worked wonders.

(I found out today, however, that the rubber split and the mattress went to the burn pile. But draining it wasn't for naught, because we had to get the mattress out of her house, anyway.)

We went to Pioneer Villa for supper. Good, good times.

Ideally, I would be home by now preparing for my journey. To the contrary, I am sitting here at work waiting for my transformed cells to grow in solution so I can plate them out. I have a bit to do before I leave my parents' at 8:45 pm (a bit, considering I won't be home before 7:30):
Sew neckline on dark green dress.
Wash travel dress and dark green dress and other clothes.
Figure out what to take.
Pack backpack.
Try to remember what I forgot.

It'll happen, Lord willing, one way or the other.
