It drives me insane when people complain to me about things in a condescending way. What I mean is I hate it when people complain about their midterms, finals etc. exaggerating and emphasizing upon how difficult their lives are because it's not as if I don't have midterms and finals as well. We all understand the feeling. What I hate even more is when they try to enhance their complaining with "No, you don't understand..." because quite frankly, I probably understand better than you do I'm just not going around moaning and groaning about something that's blatantly inevitable. There's this one girl in my Physics D/L that complains like crazy. "Oh my gosh, I have an Ochem8B midterm, it's so hard and I have an essay due the same day and then I have my Bio2B midterm the same week!!!" What I say: "Ohh really, that sucks, yeah that sounds like a lot" What I really want to say: "Fool please, I just had Physics and BIS101 on the SAME DAY and my Ochem118B midterm is tomorrow, so SHUT UP no one wants to hear it." Maybe I'm too harsh... I don't know, it's just annoying. I wish someone would slap her.

I dissected my toothpaste in order to make it last until tomorrow morning. I think I did a pretty good job. Oh, by dissecting I mean I cut it in half down the middle and am currently squeezing the last drops of toothpaste out like that. I know, it's kind of ridiculous and most people would have given up and gone to CVS or Safeway by now, but I am not about to spend 15 dollars on a tube of toothpaste the size of my left pinky. I refuse.

Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at

Oh man, gel electrophoresis. I'm still pretty slow... my supervisor can finish a plate in 3 min, my record is 5 (there are usually 20 wells). Also, I stabbed one the other day... so disappointing.
