quiet.

yes. i've been quiet for a few days, which is a little rare for me.

i've been busy with my summer class. but now... i have my book paper due in the morning, so of course i need to procrastinate with a little update. ha.

aside from my paper, i have 2 more quizzes, 1 presentation, 1 more journal critique and then my final is next friday. i'm so ready to be done with this class. it's been a pain. not really what i expected it to be and just a lot of unnecessary work. i've learned a couple things... but i was expecting more of a methods class, and instead all we talk about is demographics and social conditions and diversity and things like that. i know that might all be important, but it's just not what i was looking for in this class.

anyway. my pcr finally worked with my new genomic template. [i had to cut the little beetle dude into 3 sections and his guts came running out. they were yellow and yucky. i can't believe i didn't freak out. ha.] so now i can go back and try some more things to see if i can get them to work. i'm really hoping. it's frustrating to not get any results.

my dad's birthday was monday. we had a little dinner here at the house. it was pretty nice. i'm so loving family time these days.
katie's birthday is saturday. so we will have another dinner, and then i think we might go out somewhere. my other friend's birthday is today... so she is planning to go out as well. i'll have to see if i am in the mood. i'm not always up for it. ha.

on sunday i start working at the scrapbook store too. it's their anniversary celebration that day, so it might just be crazy busy. i'm excited though. i'm really excited for my class to be done, so i can just focus on my thesis during the day and then have the night and weekends for fun things like scrapbooking and movies. :] yeah. i'm ready for summer now. i wasn't really ready when school got out... but now... i am so ready!

ok. i better get to work on this book critique. so lame.
i hope everyone has had a great week!
