tuesday morning, second-to-last day of my week-long pseudo-summer-vacation, the longest break from school i'm going to have until christmas. it's almost noon, and i'm on my second pear woodchuck, listening to some kickass bluegrass, and doing research for my writing certification paper, which means reading articles with names like "The characterization of novel mycorrhiza-specific phosphate transporters from Lycopersicon esculentum and Solanum tuberosum uncovers functional redundancy in symbiotic phosphate transport in solanaceous species" and "Human Impact on Erodable Phosphorus and Eutrophication: A Global Perspective." strangely enough, i'm thrilled.
