'Stine's List of Things to Do:

1) Catch up on missed assignments for Limnology class (Consisting mainly of reading ten articles on plankton, phosphorus-chlorophyll trends, silica depletion in Lake Michigan, and How The World Will Soon Run Out Of Water Killing Us All. How exciting).

2) Study for and take missed Limnology test (see above, only involving a letter grade).

3) Finish cleaning two weeks' worth of yuck out of my apartment. Well, actually more than two weeks', because I really needed to clean even before I went to Omaha.

4) Do statistical analysis on my okapi data, so that it says what I want it to say.

5) Write thesis. (Abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, fifty-billion page discussion explaining why my DATA SET IT CRAP. "Um, well you see... I had seven animals in the study when it started. But then we euthanized one, realized the second wouldn't tolerate collection, and discovered the third wouldn't pee if we were watching her. So that left me with four. One was male, one was sick, and one was pregnant. So, you see, the consistency among my subjects.... isn't. THAT'S why there are no trends at all in my results!")

6) Cease slacking off. Damn. That's gonna be a hard one.

7) Take over the world.


Excellent! Time to get started. Maybe I'll start at #7 and work my way up.
