thesis.

i am so indecisive. it took me way too long to figure out where i want to do my senior thesis, but i finally realized that all the good professors and labs are getting full, and i better just make the decision. so i decided to ask my molecular biology professor. he is the same professor who i mentored for last semester, and i know him pretty well. he is approachable and not too strict or intimidating. he really knows his stuff and will expect a lot from me, but that is kind of good because it will keep me on my toes, and i know that i will learn a lot.

this page [http://www.ag.unr.edu/biochemistry/Directory_Details.aspx?hIj7_GDp0x45=37] tells about the research in his lab. i'm not going to start until the summer, so he said that when summer is approaching he will give me a bunch of literature and i can read it and decide what i want to work on.

i'm just glad to finally have this settled. it was just another thing that was stressing me out.

otherwise. i'm still thinking about my trip to the city to get me through this week. [and i should admit that i am also in denial somewhat about how much i have to get done.] james and i decided that we want to eat dinner in north beach again, maybe at the same little spot we picked last time. mmm. i am already in the mood for some real italian food. not that i don't totally love olive garden, but there is just something about eating the real thing. other than that, both of us just want to take a ton of photos, and i want to visit the ocean of course. :]
