Day of Confiscation (28th May 2005)

Got up at 10.30, which is pretty reasonable, and as I was shaving, Jen called with my birthday present (late cos of evil ebay man of doom). So I shaved quickly (and cut myself) and opened it up. It was a signed copy of a programme from Marillion's 1982 Script Tour! Signed by all of them. Wow! Quite impressive! I am muchly pleased with it.

In the afternoon I had to get Alex to confiscate my internet cable so I would get more focused for work and it worked! I got loads done, finished MIMS and have got most of my practical paper done. It's not too hard, it's just the calculations are evil - I'm beginning to get the hang of concentrations/volumes/quantities etc, which is bonnie! I managed to calculate some reasonable RC and P:O ratios (3.3 and 3 respectively) for the first time ever which was cool. They take a long time, but I think now i've done them properly I'll be quicker in the actual exam! Yay.

So now it's 1.50 - I was going to carry on and finish the paper, and then I got a question on the mitochondrial PMF and respiration rates. I can do it, its just a faff - kind of like defining a word you use all the time, but are never exactly sure how to define it. Like modest.

I have also been sufficiently geekified by Jen. Oh well, bye bye life!
