What I learned in school today...

I just got back from my biology lab where we literally spent almost three hours "learning" how to measure stuff.  I'm not even kidding, we had to learn about the metric system and scientific notation.  And then we weighed pecans and measured the length of dead animals they borrowed from the museum.  I'm pretty sure we did that in like 6th grade... well not the dead animal part, just the measuring.  I guess that's why it's Biology 101...

On a related note, I also learned it's a good idea to invest in an umbrella.  The city of Lincoln had a freaking monsoon this morning, and trekking across campus in the rain is not a whole lot of fun.

Tip of the Day: Always know where you're going.  I went on a run last night, and I started out on this bike path and I just decided to see where it went.  I ended up in the sketchiest neighborhood ever.  And instead of just turning and making a loop back to campus, there was a huge, fenced-in train yard so I had to end up going like a mile out of the way.  But I survived and I made it back.

Now I'm off to dinner and yoga class....whoo hoo!
