That’s right!!! I can officially say I can play (in some recognizable manner) Summer of ’69 by Bryan Adams on the guitar. I have spent the last week plucking away and tentatively singing along while I strum to that wonderful ode to guitar playing anthem. I am sure it does not sound nearly as good as I think it does but oh well I am my own little basement rock star!! My newest challenges will include some Oasis (the ever-popular Wonderwall), Bob Dylan, and anything else I can find some decent guitar chords within my level to play…which at this point is still minimal.
It has been quiet around the lab lately due to a lack of undergrads and in a science lab that can only mean one thing…MCAT season. At some point all science undergrads are bitten by the med school bug, and what this means for me is making my own buffers and running my own columns one slow, agonizing drop at a time. Oh well, I guess I should cherish this rare bit of peace and quiet. I am sure it will not last long.
I am off for now, to read the owner’s manual of my new columns to make sure the operation os the same as my old one which I desperately hope it is. I once again silently curse my undergrad for this extra chore.
And if anyone is wondering…there are approximately 116 days until Christmas. I say approximately because I might have gotten distracted while counting the days on the calendar.
