Exhausted but Hopeful

Hey guys,

I am feeling better now. There is hope. My western might work this time. I've been incubating my cells for almost 48 hours and they are not contaminated (knock on wood) so they may actually turn out allright.
I've basically got 2 papers due this week. One of them is for my current boss. The other one is a statistical analysis on a study of Gay sex in birds! I love this paper. We've laughed so much getting it ready. I have to start and finish writing my other paper which will be organized like a grant, on HIV and HCMV co-infection TODAY. I've never written a paper in this format.... So scary. Hopefully once I start reading I'll feel better. It is only noon and I am already exhausted. Imagine tonight, the lack of energy I will have.
We are moving to Emoryville by the end of the month, me and Carlos. We are moving to this brand new apartments above the Bay street mall. Carlos says we are going to have an awesome view. I can't wait to have all of our stuff back, furniture, my paintings, our chest, our couch. I can't wait. At the end of the semester I am going to throw a dinner party for my friends. I guess we'll make some lasagna and Angel food Cake and some mojitos. Everybody seems to like those recipes, when we make them.
I have to do my presentation in 2 weeks and everything that entails....
SO overwhelmed! I can't wait for the semester to end. I just can't. I am exhausted and all of these classes just stand in the way of my scheduel and work for lab. I hate them. They are just not what you expect....
Anyways....
OH you guys there is some good news after all! OOOOh! I've lost 5 pounds total! I am soooo happy and relieved about that. YEY!!!!!! I might actually look like a human being by the time the rat party comes on. YEY!
