It's an in house grant and I'm going to be talking to them about this. Maybe we should be doing this in April because I've had to pay for all the research myself because it took until now, two weeks til the end of the semester (OMFG HOW?) We can't have all the students just doing research in the spring. I'm happy to have the money.

On the other hand the incubator shorted out. That's all we need. All that other grant money we had such high hopes for are now going to be going toward replacing equipment we have and not for anything new and cool. Worse that autoclave that went bad is only about 5-6 years old and they already don't make the parts to replace it. That is not even right.

[livejournal.com profile] kiramaru7 and I have a mutual cheerleading/competition thing to at least write 100 words for the rest of this month or more and if you want in, feel free to chime in. She did a good job yesterday and today I got 2,517 words and I'M STILL not at halfway in my novel. I'm hosed.


23954 / 50000 words. 48% done!

Nano Snippet Catching a flash out of the corner of her eye, Solan turned and a little yellow butterfly like bit of animated magic settled on her shoulder. It unspooled its message directly into her ear, taking the iron from her legs.

"What is it, Solan?" Ceras caught hold of Solan's elbow. "You're white."

"I have to go and fetch Tenaldi and his fellows. There's been a mass poisoning at Zef at the wall."

Sorry about the equipment failures.

You're still doing good with your novel!! I will say though, that your work on it is inspiring me to get my arse in gear & finish my fic. :D I've manage to add 949 words, so far, to it! :D
