If you see him...

As I walked through the atrium, back to my dorm to get some lunch, I looked outside to my left. I saw someone I was certain I knew, one of my Le Moyne friends, though I couldn't see his face. I was about 99% certain on this one, and thus decided to take a short detour. Sure enough, "it was Nick!" (I thought you might appreciate that, Leah. :P) He had wandered over here from ESF to find a professor who knew about yeast, but to no success. We got to talking; both of us seem to be having scientific, but rewarding and fun-filled summers! That's all anyone could hope for, right? :P

Still making more starting materials, still analyzing them. Next week, Tony says we will begin the cell work; we will actually test some of the stuff we made on the cells! It's the moment of truth...

Currently reading: The Face by David St. John. It's a novella in verse, a very moving narrative of a failed love. Read it. I also just finished the full text of Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke, translated by Stephen Mitchell. Amazing, a must read. And I am still making my way through Agnes Grey. Yeah, I know. I could have, and probably should have finished that first. What can I say, I guess I am an ADD reader.

Listening to: All That We Let In by the Indigo Girls. Great Album! :)
