Life of few accomplishments

This weekend was disastrous towards my goals of getting things at least somewhat done. Keep in mind that list of thigns I had to do this weekend. I got a lot of the mundane little things done last Thursday, but beyond that, very little.

I do have 5 pages of my thesis written so far, and I'm supposed to have ten by Wednesday. I will work on it between biochemistry and French tonight, and then I'm going to edit it tomorrow. However much I have is how much I have. When I take in what I have done, I'll say that I did as muc has I reasonably could. She knows how much work I am doing, and hopefully will understand as to why I have very little done.

Wednesday is actually amazing because I have no class until 5:55 at night. All of my other classes for that day have been cancelled. Hotness. I'll be spending most of the day in the lab, probably, doing antibody staining and such.

I should also mention that I got a reasonable amount of my genetics lab done, which is good. The professor of the course is so laid back it's not even funny, so I should expect reasonably good grades. We have like 425 points in the course, of them 50 are just participation and showing up, and 100 of them are weekly math quizzes (making solutions, determining densities, etc.). I think I should easily get an A in that class. Keep in mind, when I took genetics, I got a 102% in the class overall.

So today's agenda is simple: work on lab write up from last week (I'm almost done), biochemistry class, big long break for thesis work, and finally French.

This week's agenda actually is really simple, come to think of it. I have very few thigns occupying my time.

The biggest two developments this week are in fact last night, which included the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl, which was possibly the most amazing 15 minutes of football I've ever seen, and tomorrow's Super Tuesday results. I took a look at CNN's Super Tuesday polling, and I'm shocked at what's going on on the Democrat side. The rate of Obama's ascendance is particularily alarming. I will reiterate my idea: Obama is a good person, intelligent, and represents a certian future of politics. He will probably be elected for higher positions in the future. The great problem is his lack of experience. If I was a Democrat more interested in the well being of this country than worrying about who is more electable, I would have to go for Hillary, just because she has that experience. If Obama is elected, he will be fighting constantly with his staff because he wants things one way and the tried and tested staff will want something else. The fact that Obama and Hillary are tied, for all intents and purposes means that the real focus shifts to Feb 12 states: Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. I see a split result here too: Hillary should win at least Maryland, and maybe Virginia too (more even balance of white and black Democrats here), while Obama will win D.C. So then the real emphasis has to get pushed to Texas and Ohio, the two states that will probably determine the Democrat nomination. If the two are STILL tied, then Pennsylvania, which votes in April, determines the nomination.

Things on the Republican side are all but finalized. McCain has HUGE leads in New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Arizona, and New York, all five of which are like Florida, winner take all states. That's 252 uncontested delegates for McCain, and only 1100 are necessary to win.

I have some early Super Tuesday predictions:

McCain wins: Arizona, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota, North Dakota, Missouri, Georgia, Oklahoma, Montana, and most importantly, California.
Romney wins: Utah, Massachusetts, Colorado, Alaska, and West Virginia
Huckabee wins: Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama

That should give McCain about 627 delegates, in addition to his current 97, that should give him 724 delegates towards nomination, out of the 1100 needed. I think that should be enough to make the other two drop out, but if it isn't, there are contests in Kansas, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Louisiana, and Washington where he can win in the week after S.T. I do not see the Republican race going strong all the way to Texas and Ohio.
Romney should get at least 200 delegates, and Huckabee will probably only get about 100.

On the Democrat side, I honestly see about a 50-50 split of the delegates available which should give Hillary and Obama around 900 each.

I need to get ready for school, and stop talking politics.
