I have not been able to write in here in almost a week. Stunning, yes, but not overly unexpected, largely because I have had little to discuss. Right now, I have so many problems with school, that I barely have time to write anything in here anyways.

Good news things of this last week:
1. I have real direction on my thesis, whereas before, I definitely lacked that kind of direction.
2. McCain did, in fact, claim the trifecta, as well as a rash of support in Louisiana that promises in the convention this week to assign him delegates that Huckabee won't be getting. It looks like he may hit the 1191 mark this week with Romney throwing his delegates to McCain and WI, WA, and LA assigning delegates this week. If it's not enough, then we can basically sit on our hands between now and March 4 while we wait for Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island to cut Huckabee's political throat this year.
3. Watching the Vicar of Dibley has saved my sanity.

Bad news things this week:
1. I don't think I did that great on biochemistry exam.
2. Even though I have direction on my thesis, I am REALLY far behind on it already. I'm supposed to have a draft done my Spring Break, and right now, I think I may only be able to get maybe 85% of the way there by then.
3. I'm like really behind on getting paid because UCCS has not processed me in my new position yet, and that back pay problem means that it will all be paid to me at one day, when I can have all kinds of money taxed on me. I'll be paid like 600+ dollars, but a lot of those will be withheld for tax purposes.

Major decisions this week:
1. I am going to go full blown effort into getting one of the three big scholarships for Americans to study in Britain (Marshall, Rhodes, and Fulbright). If I get accepted for one of those scholarships, I will at least get my Master's over in England instead of here.
2. The research I'm doing in this lab is going to carry me majorly far if we get published. I have to be very hush-hush about the whole scientific business, but what we're working on may be huge.
3. I may have to take the GRE over again. My verbal scores are not impressive at all, and the math ones could probably go up a little.

Time to go back to working.
