My face looks vaguely like Matthew's in expression, though not hotness quotient

I just took an almost three hour nap by accident. *blinks at the world* In that time, I got zero emails, and my roommates aren't out in the living room and I don't see evidence of them having made dinner. Also, I'm not hungry even though I didn't have a real lunch and I only ate some Ramen when I got home.

It's like the world stood still (except for the sun setting and all that jazz). I am confused and groggy and dnw.

Luckily, I have Gerard and company as a balm for my soul. Imagining Mikey Way in the backseat while Gee and Bob test drive a Dodge Challenger is maybe the best thing that happened to me today. :D

I lied about the no emails - I got one, from that professor I want to work with (I think I'm supposed to call him Jason already...) in response to my question about what he might like me to work on. This is what he had to say.

My current favorite idea for you is: explore the mechanisms by which small molecule inhibitors of Hsp70 control the fate of tau in cell-based models of Alzheimer's disease. This would involve measuring affinity by a couple of newly developed methods, doing some structure work (NMR), developing in-cell Western blots and running protein re-folding assays. Once you get your schedule worked out, we can discuss these ideas in more detail.

*blinks at that for a while* That's, um. Wow. That's a lot! In only two months to boot! It's deeply exciting (I have not done ANY OF THOSE THINGS before, not even a Western) and exhilarating but also terrifying. It is however pretty much exactly what I want to do, and if all of that is what he'd like me to do in two months, I think it would be so fun to work for him for four years.

I repeat - Wow! O.O
