Have you seen me lately?

So, last night/this morning, I saw Harry Potter. It was my first midnight movie, and it was amazing. Go see it. It remains to be seen, however, how tired I will end up tomorrow; I did pretty well today, but there is a one day delay, usually. Now that I have been getting regular amounts of sleep, my body can potentially recover from this particular event with little notice. At least I hope.

I noticed a measurable increase in the amount of stupid things I did today - likely the result of my tiredness. It made me feel like I was in first semester organic lab; I never used to sleep more than 4 or 5 hours before going to that class. And I tended to spill things. A lot more than second semester. That lab was in the afternoon. Go figure.

Our group is going to Niagara Falls this Saturday, and apparently we have the 5 hours to spend ourselves. Not really sure what to do with 5 hours; suggestions are welcome! :)

Not much reaction success to report; the thiolation of AZT didn't work as proven by mass spectrometry. :( No worries, though - we're currently tweaking our reaction conditions, and aren't even close to out of options. I am hopeful that something will work for us! :)

It's almost the end of week 6 here at SU, and I am in utter disbelief. I received an email with textbook information in it yesterday; I am not prepared to go back to classes. Don't get me wrong; I like school, but I appreciate my vacations. The 10 days I will be home after my job finishes are going to be the most precious 10 days of the summer.

Currently reading: same books. I wanted to finish Promise Not To Tell, but I am so drained, I don't have the energy. Tomorrow, I will do it.

Listening to: "Someday You Will Be Loved" by Death Cab for Cutie. "You may feel alone when you're falling asleep, and everytime tears roll down your cheeks, but I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet. Someday you will be loved..." <3
