Yeah, I'm bored. And frustrated.
For my thesis, I have all this research I'm supposed to be getting started, but I'm missing little bits and I'm unsure about what to do about it all. I need to go anemone collecting, but the weather sucks, the tides are at crappy times, and it's hard to organize. Unfortunately, it's looking as though I can't start the next step until I go. Lame! Also unfortunately, my supervisor is busy and hasn't answered me about what I should do next. I also need to use the fluorescent microscope, but I'm not sure if I can just walk in and use it or what. It's frustrating me. Also because I'm starting experiments that hadn't even been included in my original thinking and because I originally had planned to use about 80 anemones, a number when has now jumped upward of about 200. I don't have 200 and it takes about 2-3 hours to collect 30 of the damn things. Meaning that I need to get out collecting for a couple days, and I need to do it in the near future, yay for anemone collecting in the freezing cold and rain. Blah.
In other news, played a very very muddy soccer game on Sunday. It was fun even though I got taken out a couple times and am very sore in some random places.
I'm tired. I miss home and my parents. I wish I could take some time off from worrying about these damn anemones, but it's not to be. I get to go to a conference in September and hopefully present a poster on my work. Maybe I'll actually have something like results by then. (cross my fingers).
