oh how i worry

so - the thing to do on my to do list that i've been avoiding because i have too many questions has taken over my day. and nothing is really "going right" - first of all, all the ingredients are at completely the wrong concentrations, which is not hard to fix, its just going to be annoying. and a lot of the ingredients are antiboitics/antifugal stuff, so i'll be using syringes tomorrow to deal with it - which just kinda freaks me out for no real reason. then, i had gen helping me mix up the stuff initially because it went in the fume hood with this magnetic stirring thing and i just dragged her along since i'm convinced i'm doing everything wrong the first time i do it. yup, we melted a graduated cylindar to the hot plate. it is so much stress for media that i shouldn't be stressing over and as soon as i make it, i'll never see it again.

there. that was me venting. i hope everyone is having a good day :)

on a better note - i can tell that the days are getting longer! its almost 4:30 and although its not *sunny* there is still the reminants of a once sunny ski outside my window :) :) :)
