Funny you should mention that. Last week one of our undergrads was making some media and he turns to me and says "Have you ever been tempted to eat the agar? Sometimes it looks like it would be tasty and it's hard to resist"

Agar as in the gelling agent from seaweed that i have about a pound of? I fuck with my friends drinks all the time, put their OJ in the microwave with the agar stirred in then when they come back from the bathroom it is about halways to being completely hard.
But it's pretty useful stuff.
Also Dear Blog thread,
I asked my (now ex) Humanities teacher on a date, she is 23. She said yes, this is a pretty good day for me.
Fixed a word because it was probably wrong.
ViolentDove:
Yeah, that agar. Agar is routinely used in microbiology as a medium for bacteria/fungi/whatever to grow on. You mix it with the appropriate nutrient source and let it set in a petri dish... some of it smells pretty tasty, like the potato-dextrose agar I used to use in the fungi lab.
Also what? How does someone get to be a professor at 23?
abadname:
Maybe professor was the wrong word, but she was the person who was teaching me about art and stuff. I ended up talking to her about music mostly.. And I just sat there and thought how cool she was.
Lines:
It's possible to be a professor at 23, if they were kind of young when they started college/finished in a short amount of time and went straight to grad school.
Dear blog thread,
Today we made about twice as much money at work than we usually do. It was kind of weird just how much money was in the drawer when I closed this evening.
I'm debating about which is better: buying a car or getting an apartment.
Also, I hate it when people take the news literally for the weather, especially when they don't leave the house. The 3 major networks kept insisting that there was a winter weather advisory when there was NO SNOW ANYWHERE IN THE AREA. It snowed for about 2 hours, but then it stopped and the roads were fine. Two weeks ago, people were fish tailing all over the place because some roads hadn't been plowed and they said nothing about that. We have winter ever year around here and yet people still freak out. Holy crap, people.

This! It's been really really cold and wintery here for a couple of weeks now, and now all of a sudden there's a little bit of ice left and some snow where no one ever walks, and that's it. It's making me sad, and I just hope there'll at least be some snow at home (there seems to be some left in the photos that have been circulating online newspapers lately due to the murder that happened), but that'll probably also disappear before I get home.
Also, blog thread, in 54 hours I will be on my way home for Christmas! I have 1 exam left, and while 2 out of the 5 I have had have went straight to hell, and the one on Friday most likely will as well, the other three have gone better than expected (I think, no grades yet), so I'm not sure what to think. Failing things sucks, but I guess maybe failing some things and having to retake them and doing better on other things is better than getting Ds or Es in all the classes? Maybe? I hope so. Anyways, this goddamn hell is almost over. I can't wait, and I don't care that it means 10,5 hours on a train in the middle of the day.
