Work just isn’t…working today. My bacteria are taking forever to grow, in part because I did something stupid last night, but I can’t do anything until they reach a certain point.

I happened to drive in today, so fuck it, I’m going to La Jolla Shores for an hour or so. I need to get out of this funk.

Yes, I realize that I’m lucky to be able to do this. I also realize it’s one of the few perks I get in grad school, and it only slightly makes up for the fact that I was on campus at 7:45 this morning and probably won’t be leaving until 7PM tonight. Sigh.
