update (iii)

26 pages. sat at my desk typing furiously for 3 straight hours, then 1.5 hours of multiple regression (zzz), then chinese takeaway and another 4 hours banging away at the keyboard. i have another 150 pages of documentation that gets snipped off from old protocols and tacked like a giant tumour onto the end, then references and i'm going to call that a first draft. it took 500g of caffeine to get through today, but it was oh so worth it, and i'm pleased. so pleased that i let myself leave the lab early, deposited my stipend check, and bought a red delicious to munch on as i walked home. in any case, it was 80 outside today, and beautiful, and you can't be unhappy on a day like that.
