Just a Quickie

Because I've got a report to edit and studying for my Microbial Physiology test to do.

Anywhoo, I've been busy, editing trees and all that. I'm finding that this one gene, A622 (with a supposedly unknown purpose in tobacco plants) has a lot of roots in...wait for it...diatoms and algae. Hrm...

Granted, I haven't spent that much time doing undergrad research in the past 2 weeks or so due to midterms and writing reports and pretending I want to have a life.

The snow is all right, I guess. We've got a lot, and of course VT didn't close. I'm kind of over it at this point, mostly because I know it's supposed to be in the 50s and 60s Thursday and Friday and that means it's going to melt and be a huge disgusting mess here. I'm just ready for Spring Break.

We're doing stuff with bioluminescence in the class lab. Hooray mutating E.coli to glow in the dark. I just wish I didn't have to write a report on how I did it. I hate writing lab reports. Especially when the prof rips them to bits every time.
