seeing one of my labmates run through the lab with a block of sodium metal in his bare hand (wouldn't have been good if he'd been hurt, but he's fine). ah, Jerry.

well, my presentation totally blew. I have to completely re-do my slides. The actual presentation isn't until the 27th, but I'm going to Boston this weekend, and I have a physics term paper to write (I should probably find out when that's due), plus two other classes.

Spring break is never long enough. Not that I went anywhere. Just to my mom's house. Had really weird dreams while I was there. Some were about clowns. I HATE clowns. Bad dreams.
