THIS. IS. CAKETOWN!!!1!11
Hey guys. I just realized that I have not posted since that last announcement of mine...except for that weird god-thing. But anyway, first of all, thank you all so much for your responses to my last real post. You guys helped me through one of the toughest times of my life.
HOWEVER. Things have actually turned out for the best. Because, you see, I am living the dream*.
I AM A SCIENTIST!!!
To elaborate**, I got a job offer at Bio-life solutions, a biotechnology company in Owego that specializes in molecular cryo-biology***. This is no ordinary job offer. I'm not going to be a lab-tech, I'm going to be a full-blown scientist. They are letting me design/implement my own projects! So far, I've presented three ideas (including one involving my aging research obsession) and they have approved ALL OF THEM for further investigation. Which is what I'm doing at this wonderful hour.
So. My current plan is to stay in bing while taking some business/biochem courses for 2 years or so, then to apply to grad school once I've made some serious accomplishments in this company. After all, if these guys are willing to let me jump right into making the stuff I've always wanted to, then so be it ;).
Again everyone, thank you.
*When in preschool, I played "mad scientist" in the sink. This is one of the only memories I have of the time-period.
**What, you think I'd just leave it at that? I could never, if only to prove that I haven't started working on making zombies as some sort of mad "I'll show YOU to not let me into grad school" scheme...ok, time to change topics before that gets more appealing.
***Basically, they are doing research involving the successful storage and transfer of biological systems. Right now, people just sort of freeze organic tissue, which destroys it pretty thoroughly. If the stuff they/we are working on works, it could revolutionize the world of medicine.
