You’re very good at diluting things.
You’re also very good at transferring small amounts of liquid between containers.
You are fed up of people saying alcohol, when they mean ethanol.
You hear the word ‘Molar’ and teeth are the last thing on your mind.
You say “conjugation” instead of “sex”, and “pili” sounds dirty.
SOB is not an insult, it’s what you grow your bugs in.
You say “mills” and “megs”. (and then no one knows what I’m talking about…)

Um. I always have a dream about aliens taking over mixed with Harry Potter and friends of mine from middle school. That is a pretty cool destiny…but I don’t think it’s coming true, cookie :(

Harry Potter, Doraemon, and LISTS! Best (6-month-late) Birthday present EVER! It’s my fault for never going to pick it up I guess. And a little my fault for having to work all summer. Her fault for living so far now. But…I love her. Thank you, Lucy!
Think imma go watch some Doraemon now..! Hehheh
Lunch with my girl, Lucinda at Cafe Bakery! Old tradition that’s been abandoned for the last year or two. Was delicious! Then we walked to Lincoln and visited all our old teachers and talked for a while.
Met up Alex at Stones/State then took the bus to Eggettes and tutored him for his precalculus final. Played a couple intense games of Spoons and then I had to bounce. Great day!
I’m still not used to the fact that I don’t have ANY WORK over Winter Break this year. Life is goood.
You know you’re a biologist when….
You know you´re …
Makes me miss the lab… :,)
Tetris - The Game of Life.
I was very inspired by a game of Tetris before my chemistry final today. It was supposed to help me de-stress, and I think it worked pretty well.
Life is a lot like a game of Tetris. You never know what pieces you may get. You get previews of the next couple pieces…but most people don’t even look at that. You plan to get a perfect 10 on every line, but sometimes you just get the wrong pieces and random holes appear here and there. Sometimes your hands randomly spazz out and you just don’t know how those pieces got there. It gets stressful when the game speeds up. Everything becomes a mess and a blur and you just don’t know what to deal with first. But you learn to adapt and play with what you get, and often it works out. When you’re filled almost to the brim and just can’t handle it anymore…then just accept it. Game over. It feels good to just let things go. Sure, you can’t push ‘new game’ in real life…but you can move on. You can start over afresh and take things slower…then build up to what you had before. Maybe you’ll even get a high score next time.
Let the pieces fall where they may.
Family is family. Wether is the one you start with. The one that you end up with. Or the family that you gain along the way, wich makes everyday December 16th.

Because when you really know who you are and what you like about yourself, changing for other people isn’t such a big deal.
