Sleepyhead

Today was brief. There was some confusion over where (almost) all 13 of my project's cardiac mice cages went (ACK) but they were found eventually- the guy cleaning the cages ran out of space and moved them to another rack. Whew.

Craig, Tahmina, Helen and I finished Day #3 of genotyping, which was just making the master mix for the PCR and running the PCR. Pipetting is fun :)

Hmm...I guess overall today was sort of slow. Not much else exciting to report. Did EKG on the mice left over from last week. We got new neocardiac needles, which are much better fitting on these mice, since they're smaller than the other ones, and, as Meghaan so aptly puts it, it doesn't seem like we're shoving the equivalent of a pencil into a person! I feel quite bad for the mice some times.

So got back early and took a very long nap- still sleepy though, I'm ready to hit the mattress soon enough. Sadly, didn't get to go gymming today, but I'm going to be crazy and go early tomorrow morning. Need to practice MCATs and study up tomorrow before class too- first day of organic chem to commence! Yikes.
