May. 1st, 2015 11:15 am So my Honours project of delightful Aussie geckos has been owning my brain since February - not least because my supervisor is rather ambitious and it seems more like a PhD!! (I'll be doing that later. Probably. Best way to put off trying to find a job, amirite?)
BUT despite getting a sore shoulder and thumb from too much pipetting, the lab work is progressing nicely. Getting DNA out of lizards and onto your computer for making phylogenetic trees with is a long and complicated business, I am discovering. Mostly involving lots of pipetting. Though I was also wielding scalpels and burning ethanol at the beginning too, which is more exciting!
I have also been chipping away at my long WIP too, which I wasn't sure I'd have brain enough to do. The end is in sight! Goodness knows what I'll do with myself after it's done - probably produce twice as many never-to-be finished snippets *sigh* My TV-show-watching plans have gone out the window instead, which I guess is better priorities? :P
Luckily I was not too busy with uni to see Bell Shakespeare's As You Like It - very enjoyable cross-dressing romp with unexpectedly good singing thrown in! The plot seemed to be a mashup of Much Ado and Twelfth Night, but I can't blame the Bard for copying his own themes that work well. AND![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
fahye and I saw Avengers 2 - Australia has spoilers for America for once, haha! (Not that you'll find any here, never fear.) Now I really want the next X-men movie to come out :D Barring that, some fic exploring the new team members . . .
