Too Dark

Too Dark

The reflection is the lights inside the building.

Everyone’s bugging me

My lab this past Monday was significantly longer than the time I spent sleeping last night. I find that curious.

A lot of work to do before graduation, yet I feel quite ready to be done.

To augment this post, I will (happily) provide you with some lyrics to a very short Fountains of Wayne song.

In about an hour
The sunlight’s gonna fade
And you and me
We’ll divvy up the wine

Like everything else here
Yours and mine

Pickin’ up the paper
Coffee’s been made
It’s book review and face the nation time

Two in the same mind
Yours and mine

Things to Know for Biochem Test

A list of things I should/need to know for my biochemistry test tomorrow.

  1. DNA polymerase enzymes are only able to join the phosphate group at the 5’ carbon of a new nucleotide to the hydroxyl (OH) group of the 3’ carbon of a nucleotide already in the chain.” - “DNA Replication
  2. UV light = thymine dimer photoproducts = requisite enzyme correction
  3. Only two biochem tests left.
  4. The movie Finding Neverland fascinates me.
  5. Have to get back on topic.
  6. The damaging effects of superoxide radicals necessitate enzymes such as catalase and superoxide dismutase.
  7. It’s currently 56 degrees.
  8. See #5
  9. Now it’s actually 54 degrees. It’s getting colder.
  10. I’m closing this window and going to study.

Money and Safety

Saint Thomas is situated in a very safe part of St. Paul—crime is low, and the safety measures in the dorms are high: keycard access and check-ins after hours. You start to take it for granted how safe it is to be on campus. In the past few years, however, we’ve had a marked increase of muggings only blocks from school. It’s usually dark, and the victim usually gets hit on the head. One guy was running with his iPod and didn’t even know what was coming because he couldn’t hear anything. Another guy was something like 6’5”, and he still got attacked.

It’s rather disturbing, especially as more and more of the people I know live off-campus *cough* Mykala *cough*. I haven’t had the opportunity to live off campus, I’ve been here in university dorms/apartments for my entire four years. And here on campus, it’s hard to imagine anyone at St. Thomas as threatening. They sure don’t have to steal to get what they want. I mean, I was sitting in biochem lab the other day, and this girl starts in about how her Dad just bought her a brand new Honda CR-V, to replace her Jeep Grand Cherokee. Yeesh. So, true, it’s not saying much for my own courage, but I can’t really be frightened with all these rich people running around. I mean, what are they going to do? Beat me with their money? Their big bags of coins with dollar signs on the side? Or maybe they’ll just dump a bunch of check pads on me to knock me out. Hard to say.
