Owwwww

All nighters before classes start hurts, and is just plain wrong.
Journal articles should be considered profanity. (I've read 6 yesterday. Over the past 2 weeks, I've read over 10).
I've got 2 days to study for DNA Replication and Repair, in which I have barely started.
I've got 4 days to study for Pharmacology & Toxicology, in which I'm not ready yet.
I've got 4 days to completely be prepared for a presentation in DNA Replication and Repair, in which the powerpoint is not even 1/2 complete, in which the group has not even run through our ideas.
I've got roughly a week to do the DNA Replication and Repair paper (10 pages) on the topic of my presentation.
Owwwwwwwwwwww.

Sweet sweet reading week.

Just in time too. Whew, the past 2 weeks was definitely something. Barely had enough time to hand in my lab report of doom on Friday Feb 18. Hope the tests and midterm went well.
I really hate the new lab TA for Lab Methods. He's such an ass. He exerts his authority needlessly, has no constructive criticism, looks down on the students, and has the arogance as big as an elephant. The world would be a better place if a meteorite strikes him dead. Lab is really not fun with him in it.
I'm now in reading week (a week without classes). Good thing too, considerin the past couple of weeks, on most weekdays would get less than 4 hours of sleep (if I was fortunate). Really glad I get to catch up on sleep.
I just finished making cigarette extracts. It's for my lab methods' independent lab component. I want to test the mutagenicity of cigarettes, amongst other stuff. Supposedly the extract of cigarettes is almost pure nicotine, and if you get poked with a pindrop of pure nicotine, you'd be dead before you hit the floor. It's a shame I can't test the quality of the extract though. Testing it on the lab TA would be fun :D.
There's nothing really exciting in my life these day. Just loads more of work and stuff. Signing out.

The next 2 weeks...

IS GONNA KILL ME!!!!
Due this Friday: Human Genetics assignment, Pharmacology & Toxicology assignment, lab report for Lab Methods 2, URA/USRA applications.
On Thursday there's a rather important quiz for Lab Methods.
A week Thursday: get most of the information gathered for DNA Rep group presentation (it's big) so that the meeting with the Masters student on Friday would be productive, and so that my partners won't kill me.
A week Friday: another lab report for Lab Methods 2 (yea, those stupid annoying lab reports are back...).
On a mysterious day next week, I have a midterm on some mysterious course. I haven't verified yet.
Well, we all have to go someday. I guess I should make my will in the next couple of days.
On a different note, I got stood up for a get-together with a friend of mine today.

I hate applications

Well, I figure it's time for an update, since I haven't done that for a while. I don't exactly have a lot of time, so this will have to be somewhat brief.
So what's new in my life? Well, first off, I got somewhat of a nasty bug last Thursday (it got very bad very quickly), and I'm still recovering. Currently I'm going through summer lab job opportunities with profs, and in need of filling loads of applications. It's coming a lot slower than I'd like. Hopefully I'll get something this year, 'cause I really don't want to go back to Tim's again for the summer. Natalie edited my resume and it is currently no longer butt ugly.
I need several things. 1) better time management skills. 2) able to function without sleep. 3) weekends to be a couple of days longer. 4) good old time machine. Anyone have those for sale?
