Lab Partner Woes

Having a bad lab partner is like missing a couple fingers. I have so far had to track down mine over three times in the last week, and she has been everywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and a half late for every time we have met to work on our papers. It wouldn't be a big deal if I wasn't a commuter student and could just go home and work on other things... but I'm not. So I just waste time. 

Had an orgo exam today, and felt really good about it. And I found out today that our cell exam grades will be curved at least a couple points, which should get me a B-. I will take that with a smile.

Also, I fell into a horse fence on Saturday and fried my phone, so I currently have no contacts, and an old hand-me-down phone from a neighbor. I have a reputation as a serial phone killer, but I didn't actually DO anything to this one... it didn't get dropped in a horse trough, in a toilet, stepped on by a 1200 lb animal, dropped on a tile floor, nothing. It just happened to be on me when I, clutz that I am, had my boot sucked off in the mud, and fell forward onto the fence. I'm going to try to get the info recovered so that I can have my life back (and the numbers of all the SPCA volunteers, vets I've shadowed, people I have known since childhood, etc.). I'm not sure if that will be possible though.

The vets didn't know what was up with Taz, but they think it is some sort of under-the-skin infection. He got an injectable antibiotic and Depo for the inflammation. Hoping that one of the two takes care of it! It was really good to see all the techs and vets at the animal hospital. I actually miss being there quite a lot.

Anyway, back to working on my papers due this week.
