Aaah... every single weekday, I've gone to the lab at UMD and worked on my senior research project... and it's still not done! Unlike E. coli, the bacteria I'm working with grow really slowly. Seems like I'll have to keep going well into the school year. Oh, and I'm not paid, unlike some people, 'cause it's been a while since my lab last got a grant.

Although I guess it's fun, just, a lot of work. There was no "vacation". And I've been set back two weeks since my previous experiment didn't work. Half of my samples got contaminated, and in the others, only one colony - one, total - grew. And I'm not even at the "so what does this show us?" stage yet, still at "right now I'm engineering my samples so I can use them in an experiment." Gwuh.

And then, school. On Wednesday. Meh. At least I have a study hall. And no AP Lit.
