Bio-nerd POWAR!

Some good news! My sister in science (the cell bio nerd from the next house over) and I have managed to get places volunteering in the lab of the really cool prof we talked to at the BioSoc info session. It doesn't start until the end of November, as he's got a third-year class he's supervising in there now, but win! And you know you're a Microbi geek when you know the mortality rates for Ebola and Marburg off the top of your head (although I think I may have mixed up the Sudan and Zaire varieties of Ebola).

And not going to the movie tonight was a good idea - I'm dead-tired today, as I woke up several times from rather nasty nightmares last night. And no, not the usually pre-con bad dreams of rushing to finish costumes, or forgetting costumes, or any of that - genuine nightmares. Although totally was a dead kind of day in general, it seemed. Lots of people were really spaced out in Chem lab, more so than usual.

Now - laundry, packing, and making a shopping list for tomorrow. Usual pre-con post sometime late tonight, likely, for the benefit of those leaving tomorrow.
