I’m done with classes! Last final given yesterday and grading complete, and grades submitted to the registrar. This does not mean celebration and relaxation, but instead that it’s time to catch up with all the work I’ve put off until now. My goal for today is to clean up the genetics lab — I have a bunch of fly bottles to scrub and autoclave, and all the microscopes have to be reshelved, and I’m going to scrub benchtops. This is why I got a PhD.

I might take time off tomorrow, though. And then commencement is on Saturday. And then my summer is going to be spent tidying up my lab and office and dispersing my huge collection of books. Anyone want some?
