Relief

-whew- Big sigh o' relief. Katie, that is my roommate's name, does not hate me! Actually, she's pretty nice and we seem to be getting along quite well. And the not in English thing, she's Asian so that explains it, lol.

This week has gone much better than the nightmare I was predicting on Friday. Lab has been pretty good. I was surprised she had me start working right away. Just a small scale transcription reaction, but I was still rather jealous of all the people who got a paper to read and then the day off. Of course, the reaction didn't freaking work but I started the large one anyways and oh joy of joys! I had a pretty big amount of precipitate this morning when I went to stop it. And I'm not on the bottom of the totem pole in the lab anymore, so that is nice!

Anyways, back to Kaite. She's a little unusual in that she's a pharmacy student but also doing URP... and taking a summer class, which is why she was here for a few weeks already. But I was happy that I got to pass on my Ochem thoughts to her, especially the lack of lab notebook... lack of lab notebook = four greatest words ever spoken. She is also REALLY happy that I brought a TV. Poor girl had nothing to do! And hmm, what else? Oh yes, she wants me to learn to play tennis and we've had lots of long giggly chats, well as giggly as my lack of girliness will allow. I think we're going to be friends!
