Last posting before possible death on the basketball court...

Where does the time goes? Last week was very busy...out for Thai on Monday, Mexican (again) on Tuesday, Basketball on Wed, went back to Central Otago to collect snails on thursday, Department Happy Hour and hung at Rachel's on Friday and I spent most of Saturday baking so I could warm up the house! I think I will be baking heaps this winter as the houses are frickin' cold here! In the last few days I've made apple pie, wheat bread, roasted winter veggies, cinnamon raisin bread, apple crumble. We've got a couple apple trees so the apple desserts will keep on coming. Research is going great this week. I was worried 'cause we didn't find very many snails last week...where would they go?...but I found plenty of them infected with my parasite species - so YAY, finally I should have enough snails to get my first experiment started...as soon as I can take a break from working on my microsatellite library - which is going well so far...keeping my fingers crossed as I hear it's quite frustrating. Other exciting news: got my hair cut last night! Woo hoo! I'd let it grow out the longest it's been in quite sometime. Crappy news: only 2 of us girls can play basketball tonight (Rachel's in Korea and Kelly is sick) so that means I have to play the whole damn game...hope I don't die! And I'm sick yet again with another sore throat (5th one since moving here).
