Who has time to make jewelry?

My friend Sarah wants to come over tonight so we can make jewelry to sell at the Earth Day Art and Music Festival being put on Wednesday by the Campus Greens. How much time do I actually have to do this? Let's see . . .



Medaka eggs are developing even though we haven't put them in the egg rearing solution. Thought they were going to die. Were told they were going to die if not put in ERS. Haven't died. Tough little buggers.

Attended faculty meeting to give graduate student opinion on potential new faculty hires. Surprised everyone by not pulling any punches and telling them exactly what we thought of one candidate -- that he was an arrogant jerk who only wanted to talk about himself and talked down to all of us who weren't molecular biologists.

Have been ordering stuff for fish -- air pumps, tubing, charcoal for filters, water treatment crystals, water testing kits. Need to fill out the paperwork to get reimbursed.

Finally found out how much money I have in my account, so I can now order more female fish.

Still need to work on my review.

Need to reread some medaka papers to decide how to do exposures.

Need to reread FA natural variation papers to decide how to start character analyses for my preserved fish.

Need to put an ad in the school paper and put up posters for attendants. Have one graduating and one, maybe two, leaving for the Summer.

Have a stats exam on Tuesday. Four chapters. Need to do well on it, the grad student project (that we still haven't received), and the final. Have a B (I think) in the class, want an A.

Need to be studying rather than typing in my journal.



I'll probably be making jewelry tonight unless Sarah is too tired from working on houses today. I kind of hope we do, because I feel like I could use a little creativity in my life.
