We got our “unknown bacteria” assigned in class last night…4 weeks to test the hell out of it and figure out what it is. I’m nervous about it, regardless of the fact that the teacher assures us that everyone in the past has figured out theirs…probably because my only other experience with “unknowns” was in my high school genetics class when, since I was a *ahem* good student, the teacher thought it would be so funny to give me something that would mutate, causing me much grief and hours of endless research at the local university library trying to figure out what the hell I was looking at. Not one of my best school memories.
