Today is the first day of my Intro to Bioinformatics class. I keep checking my email for my login info but it hasn't arrived yet. So instead I'm trying to surreptitiously read my "Bfx for Dummies" book. It's actually pretty cool, there's some good stuff on sequence alignments and such in the back of the book. I want to learn to code though, so I can chuck a bunch of SNP or CNP data in an application and find correlations between patterns of CNPs and disease prognosis. Really. Ah well, in due time.
In the realm of totally random questions, does anyone have any tips or exercises for improving balance?

rather than admit that this was about the limit of my german, a came out with some rather drunken meta-physical crap about maintaining balance in your life...
