ANTI
I'd rather be watching cats get castrated. That is the honest truth. This is a Saturday in the lab and I am just hating every minute of it because there are just some days when I wake up and I do not care about actin and today is one of those days. Sometimes the coffee shop can bring new life to a lifeless paper, hence I gave it a shot, but over the top of my laptop I could see the happy families of old town on the other side of the window, laughing and pushing strollers, reminding me that life was going on out there while I sit on the sidelines, in graduate school purgatory, wondering if I'll ever be allowed to join them.
ACTIN spelled backwards is NITCA. I wonder if that means anything. Hmm.

No ray of sunshine is ever lost, but the green which it awakens into existence needs time to sprout, and it is not always granted for the sower to see the harvest. All work that is worth anything is done in faith.

Well that's kind of inspiring.
There is also Nitca river in Kazakhstan. Probably full of snakes.
