It is kind of funny, it feels like things here in Corvallis are finally starting to settle down once more (*knocks on wood*). Not totally of course, from what I hear grad school never totally settles down. But at least things are wrapping up well enough for this quarter. I managed to talk to a different professor and they are going to let me do work in their lab. He is doing some really interesting stuff and has a more hands on approach to his grad students which should help out things a good deal. I am also going to take classes that I WANT to take instead of classes I thought I SHOULD take. Sadly, Soil Microbiology and Plasmid Microbiology are the two classes I want to take. Ah well, I am in grad school, I am supposed to be a geek.
The television and radio gig is going really well also. A person who is going for station manager of the television offered me a paid position. That was really flattering! I am working on a new comedy news show for the TV station which should start shooting in the near future. That will be a lot of fun.
Lastly, I am starting movie night again. Only this time here in Corvallis. Yeah, all the Colorado regulars won't be able to make it... but things move, change, but keeping those things that are important to you is vital. For me movie night was just something really fun and special. A chance for people to hang out, leave all the mundane troubles behind, enjoy company, movies, all that good and relaxing stuff. Of course, anyone from Colorado is welcome to come to it this Sunday afternoon. :)
