So, as most of you know, I’ve been working on my thesis. Well, the background section at least. Currently, including references, it sits at about 30 pages. I feel like that’s all I’ve been doing lately. It’s kind of starting to drive me insane. But I know the sooner I get it done, the sooner I can defend it and get out of school (finally!). I also know that this section is the one that is going to suck. It’ll probably be the longest section, but everything else is explaining what I did (e.g. results) or how I did it (e.g. experimental) or transitory sections (e.g. introduction and specific aims). So I hope that the bulk of my headache will disappear once this section is more polished.

Before I started writing I thought I had a pretty good grasp of what I was talking about when it comes to this receptor. But, the more I read to get the facts precise, the more I realize it’s so much more complicated than I ever believed. And thus, I get more confused so I have to read more to understand what I don’t understand.

But on a different note, we managed to get a download of Windows 7. Naturally we didn’t put it on one of our main rigs, but still one that would get enough to use to find out how well it works — my laptop. Luckily it’s not laid out much differently than Vista. It’s similar to experiencing Office 2007 when you’re used to Office 2003 in terms of XP to 7. The hiding all open windows features is nice. And with the themes it rotates through a stack of pictures for the background (which for someone who likes to change backgrounds often (i.e. me) it’s nice). Oh yeah, and the jumplists! /smile

Well I’ve wasted enough time here, back to re-reading what I’ve written to expand upon it further.
