Can't focus

Blaahhh. A quick rant: I am having massive issues focusing on my work because I am waiting on a couple researchers to get back to me about working in their labs this summer. One researcher at the NIH who was interested in me forwarded my information to a collaborator, and the collaborator hasn't gotten back to me yet. It's been nearly a week. I even sent him a politely prodding email yesterday. No response. Another researcher at Stanford who is (thankfully) good at prompt replies, is currently trying to get some biotech companies to fund me for the summer. Thus, I have to wait on a response from these biotech companies. I really need some financial support in order to do research at Stanford. Palo Alto is not a cheap place to live, unfortunately.
