What's Next?
Life is going pretty good for me here. I'm kind of in stasis, not moving forward nor back. I don't have plans for next year, or the year after. I feel like a highly educated bum. lol
I've been running a lot more, and I'm down to 190 now, so that's kinda nice. I'm not playing chess much anymore, I'm lazy now after all the work with college and everything, and after thinking at work, I just want to rest when I get home.
The antibody and protein purifications are working pretty well, and I'm hoping to do some other, more interesting methods when I'm done. I don't think I'll publish, but, that's ok. I don't plan on being a world leader in Biochemistry,or any other feild.
People who really know me well, know I don't have a lot of self confidence, but I have gotten better! It's hard to overcome years of childhood knockdowns (understatement), both from self and peers. I don't live in the past, but, the past has wired my brain to some extent. There's such a strong negative current below the surface. I think it's true of many of us, but we push forward. I know I refuse to be knocked down again.
About next year. I actually want to stay up here. I love my parents, and it's nice being around my freinds, but, I like it here. Also, I've grown used to living on my own, and I think as a 31 year old, I deserve some space. Mom and dad live in a very small "trailer". My dad hates that term, but, it's what it is. And, I really don't have any personal room there, there's only enough room for sleeping. Also, my parents don't have cable, or local. And, I've grown used to the suburbs; I like that I can drive 5 minutes to the groc store.
Hmmmm,, maybe I'm spoiled?? In practical terms, I may have to move back, I'm broke, as I've said before, and I can't pay down debt here.
I'll find out soon enough.
