I forgot (again)


Well it wasn't really a case of forgetting so much, as not bothering to check what grade I got on the exam: usually when people mark exams they write on there the total points, percentage or at least something. Well not surprisingly they didn't write anything, so I just added up all the marks and turns out I got 88% (67.5/77). Sorted!!

Just to mention, my project results haven't gone so much to my master plan (no pun intended), in monkeys terms: I need to produce a reasonable amount of soluble protein (i.e. one that is active and works), however this is harder than expected and most of what I'm producing is insoluble (i.e. one that sucks balls). Meaning I can't carry on as yet. It's not the end of the world as I'll be changing expression systems after Xmas, all very exciting.

Not much more to report, boarding and moving (in that order and that priority) on Saturday. It feels really good down there, a completely biased thing to say of course, but it really does. Xmas is 1 week away- as most old people tend to say, 'oh it's gone so quick'. Well in this instance, I'd have to agree. The last few years have gone quick, let alone 2008: in the blink of an eye it's frigging 2009, so apparently we have 3 more years until the end of the World and all that, so enjoy it while you can.

I know I will.
