I reached a new level of nerdiness this week.

At exactly 4:27PM yesterday afternoon, if you lived in my town, you could have found me perched in a tall chair in a brightly lit third-floor laboratory, watching one of the older Ph.D. students dissecting an animal specimen to be mounted on microscope slides later ... not taking notes, or taking pictures for future reference; but instead, nonchalantly painting my fingernails bright orange with the assistance of an obligingly nearby fume hood.

Ah, grad school life. It's crazy.
