The Adventure Continues...

A catchy title for a day in which only one thing of interest truly occurred...

It was a day like any other at work, except for the fact that the pH meter was possessed. It took most of the morning to get the stupid thing calibrated and reading acceptably for known standards. We still don't know what was wrong with the stupid thing, we changed out everything we could think of - electrode, temperature compensation probe, electrolyte, buffers...nothing worked until so many things were changed that we had no idea what the real problem was. Oh well, it works. And it gave me something to do (stand around, scratch my head, and look busy).

And, after many days of telephone tag and working around work schedules, Nikki and I finally got to hang out. It was great to see her, the last time we really talked was two years ago at graduation. We had dinner and caught up on the last two years (after coming to terms with the fact that indeed that much time had passed). Strange to realize just how fleeting time is. So much has gone on in both of our lives, as is probably the case with all of us, but it doesn't seem like that much time has passed.

I miss my VT crew, but looking at the calendar, it doesn't seem like there's much left of the summer (I count in terms of work days - it makes it seem shorter), so I'll be seeing all of them soon, moving into my awesome apartment, and again busying myself with the challenges of Biochemistry.

Time for bed! Huzzah! (Is it sad that bedtime is generally my favorite time of day?)
