I spilt water on my laptop at work yesterday.

It was de-ionized water, so it shouldn't conduct electricity, but it still broke my laptop anyway. It might not have been 100% de-ionized. Right now it's drying, and I don't know how long that will take ( Read more... )

The Lake House with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves is AMAZING.

Go see it if you are into the romantic/drama genre.

The light in this dorm sucks. Once the sun comes up, my room gets really light, even though I have a Northern window. So when I attempt to sleep in in the morning, I fail. Even with the face mask, once I'm awake, I can't sleep for much more than an hour at a time, which means a light sleep. *sigh ( Read more... )

I think I'll try to Reader's Digest this one, even though it's not too long. Let me know it's rating, Keith.

Mukund is wanting me to do a lot in the next couple of days. I don't know what the rush is. But I don't think it's physically impossible for me to finish what I'm doing. Each experiment takes anywhere from 15-35 minutes to complete. Then there is the 5 or so minutes inbetween to set up the equipment and computer program. I have over 50 left to do, ( Read more... )

I have a roommate now. Her name is Terry, and she's a senior here at Wash U. She's living in the double next to my single ( Read more... )

There is SO much construction on campus, it's crazy. The whole Prince area is being torn up, but they haven't actually demolished the building yet. This means that I can't walk directly through to main campus from the forty, which sucks. They are also sprucing up the food court eating area in downstairs Mallinckrodt, which doesn't make sense, since ( Read more... )

I don't know how much I'm going to like the REU ( Read more... )
