microfluidics
Although I'm still at the sorta-kinda-mostly-I-read-papers-actually stage with regard to this project, I am now actually doing work and talking about things with people.  Which is really cool in absolutely every way but tends to result in my coming home and going, "Man, I wish I were a grad student already so I didn't have to do all this boring classwork!"  (Today it was even worse, since it was Kelsey's 21st birthday, and therefore: cupcakes, champagne, strawberries, bananas, and grapefruit.  The cupcakes were something epic - rum-raisin with kahlua buttercream ice cream or something like that.  And all of the people I adore from my department in one squnchy awkward bunch.  <33)

And everyone I live with is a humanities major who will laugh at me for this!  Ass. 

Wanted: one excitable biology major, smarter than me, interested in research, willing to listen to endless burbling on the subject of the awesomeness of my bio department, not about to graduate or go to Ecuador anytime soon.  Candidates must submit to interview, be able to survive prolonged exposure to yours truly.


Yeah, good luck with that, self.
