The mildly insane thoughts of a mildly sane graduate student

I actually think it lives in our lab...
...and somehow survived the RCMP bomb squad evacuating the dangerous items from our lab back in the day.

Well, my fan club was complaining...
...about my not recently updating my blog (hi, Mom).
My adventure of the week has been searching for chemical kits to start working on my thesis. Have been drawn into some sort of strange biochemical intrigue involving the company that made the only kit in the world to measure exactly what I need to be sold off and it's technology being lost somewhere in transition and the new company not being able to successfully replicate this kit (this is the story from the former company - I get a slightly different story from the new company that perhaps the kit wasn't quite as successful in the first place). Oye. Am now looking for alternatives to ELISA - unfortunately our lab is really only set up to run ELISAs...
Here are the belated pics of recent knitting projects (did some felting when I was home for Easter). The green striped bag is mine out of Patons Classic Wool, the pink one was made with leftover SWS from my sweater as a birthday gift for my cousin, Amy. I'm pretty pleased with how both of them turned out.
Am currently working of various secret projects (ie gifts) so don't have anything else to post pics of just yet (though perhaps I should get a pic of my lacy pink scarf).

Procrastination

What a week!
Thankfully, it's a short one. Can't wait to hop the bus to go home to Montreal after class tomorrow...
It's that lovely time of year when you get to count down to end of term (2 more classes, 1 oral presentation, 1 stats final assignment, 1 thesis proposal presentation, 2 end of class parties... and c'est tout!).
I handed in my resignation to family med yesterday (whew!). Meaning? They're no longer holding a spot for me - I'd been granted a year of leave which ends in July. Does it mean I can't go back? No... Does it mean I won't go back? Well, folks, it's looking less inevitable. How am I feeling? Mostly really good about it. I'd figured on doing that for awhile now. However, there is a little part of me that is really freaking out (normal I'm sure). That's the same part of me that let loose at the HK grad pub crawl last night (ps: I'm definately getting old for Tuesday pub crawls - on a school night...).
The lilac is because I'm in denial of the fact that it's supposed to snow tomorrow...
