I should be doing my home work...

...but I decided to share what my homework is about with all my loyal readers out there. If you didn't know, I am taking summer classes, and I have Biology right now. It's pretty interesting actually, and the best part is: we didn't have to disect anything. Anyways, I'll get to my point.

We are currently studying the structure of DNA, and the genetics of cancer. We had a lab today, where we are actually analyzing DNA. Like CSI! But, it doesn't take 5 minutes like CSI shows. We wont even get to see the end results because friday is the last day of class. We got to use those cool pipet thingys (the things that look like overgrown injectors). It was so cool. We will actually get to run the DNA samples tomorrow, I'll try to get a picture of it to show everyone what it looks like.

Until then here is a website that shows what we are learning about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCR
