Some points..

* Got myself a new old scanner (Its a gift from a friend who no longer wants it, looks new still): The possibilities are endless but I am gonna begin with scanning all the old photographs which will wear out with time

* Made the decision to join Rice University for the next ~5 years, this settles it as far as BPCL and UAlbany go

* Finally got that elusive microbe isolated and grown in agar slants, will be sent today to NCCS, Pune for identification: Good chance that its a totally new species!

* Had the final endsems begin yesterday, and thus it was that I had possibly seen some of my friends for the very last time (those who haven't taken the other subject that I have)

* Got the chemical branch T-shirt and the annual smriti yearbook/dvd set: Has consumed me all day and will do so today.. Need to study for the final test while making the project report too :(
