1st round summer tests

the tests are in and i'm pretty happy about how things went. i got an A on my physiology test, although i'm so bugged with myself because there was a really easy question on NADH and ATP output from the krebs cycle from beta oxidation products, and i started doing it, and started second guessing myself and decided i would just come back to it later and then completely FORGOT! it was seven easy points down the drain. its just so annoying because normally i could rattle that question off in my sleep, but you know how you get a brain cramp about something every once in a while...lame. so i got an A but it wasn't the A i wanted. i'm trying to impress my professor so i can TA for him, but that is not the way to do it. maybe i could impress him with my body hair growing talents, or how i can drum along to songs using only my teeth, or how i can grab my uvula, or maybe sing him an 80's song... the possibilities are endless. so maybe i don't need to stress out. that class is seriously 2 and a half hours long, at night, with a one hour discussion before it. sometimes its so tempting to have nappy time, but it's actually pretty interesting and i somehow stay awake, but my poor butt with no meat on it is often numb and lifeless and requires a great deal of rubbing and massaging before it comes back to life (thanks to the old ladies at the front desk for helping me with that). things went a lot better in o chem. i got a 99 on that test, which is with that same instructor from last semester where i got two 100s and 2 99s on his tests. so he's trying to keep me from getting a 100, and i'm trying to not let him keep me from getting a 100, so we're locked in an eternal struggle. sometimes we stare each other down, or make intimidating gestures with our bodies, trying to assert our own dominance over the other. but every once in a while we give a wink and a thumbs up, or a gentle shoulder rub out of respect. anyway, so far so good. now i gots to go harvest some zebrafish embryos. hopefully daddy made some good babies last night. i kept the lights low and put on a little mood music. hopefully those girl zebrafish gave it up. the boy zebrafish looked good and i gave them some good tips on how to keep the ladies happy. hopefully a little tickle and some spooning, and i'll have some cute little babies to subject to drugs and fin clips, and eventually euthanize and cut off their heads and look at their tails glowing with fluorescent markers under a microscope. a detailed rundown of my research process will soon follow. hopefully all 3 people who read this blog can sleep despite all their anticipation.
