I endured an orientation session from the Microbiology and Immunology Program.. 3 hours. Jesus. We had to waste time looking at poster presentations of current research by the faculty; some PhD talked my ear off about HIV CD36 receptors for 10 minutes, like some guy trying to sell me a '89 volvo.

But, I decided whose lab I'll be working in. Dr. Ansari. He's got a lab with 2 other faculty members and a few post-docs and at least one grad student. I got the paperwork signed today, running around campus. I have to pay more tuition now, but that's okay. We're meeting Thursday to decide what project I'm working on. Rock on.

I've got a headache and my eyes hurt. I need to take pills and lie down a while. Oh, my ding king came in last night. We'll see how it works when I get a power inverter.
