Slippery little sucker

24 May 2007 by kristarella

My sieve is like a brain this week. Apart from the forgetfulness described yesterday, which was undoubtedly not helped by outrageous hayfever and a headache, I have also forgotten my lab coat. It’s not a complete forget; I knew I needed it and I thought “It’s okay, I’ll be at work Thursday morning and can […]

Disaster

23 May 2007 by kristarella

I have had horrible luck today. This morning I forgot my phone, my iPod and I forgot to take meat out of the freezer for dinner, again. I consciously took my lab book out of my bag thinking I would only need the lab manual. I forgot that my book had a photo of a […]

:'(

16 May 2007 by kristarella

There aren’t any classes that I really want to take next semester. There are a couple I have to take and I think I’ll enjoy them, but the elective I really wanted to do, Microbial Physiology, has been cancelled. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to do a lab project for credit, perhaps I can […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
