and if I had a face like you I'd join the British army

Ah, the joys of translating Greek while attempting to remain qualified for a Biology minor. I had a busy morning: having the "hi, I'm in your class and I'm enthusiastic" talk with two professors is no mean feat. I then spent the better part of the afternoon messing about with pictures in my word-processing program in a vague attempt to create more icons. An ultimately unsuccessful yet disturbingly enjoyable activity. Naturally, I chose the late afternoon to remember that I have a lab report due on Friday that it might be prudent to get started on. Naturally.

So, a Timetable of Sea Urchin Development, Materials and Methods, partial Abstract and unfinished Results section later, here I am. The timetable took far longer than it should have, mostly because my math skills are sadly deficient. It's a sad, sad day when differential equations make more sense than adding and subtracting times. Not that I've dealt with differential equations lately, mind you, but I'm sure I've made my point.
