i know it'll be like another month or two before you read but...
graduating with a degree in biology, emphasis in medical technology (I'll be working in the hospital lab. I start clinicals in October). Planning on getting my master's in microbiology (someday).

i'm still feelin all right. no hospital this summer (september is just around the corner, baby!)

I don't take pictures of my dog because i'm not going to be one of those people.

of course i'm still a republican. i have MS, not alzheimer's.

...doesn't Kalil mean beautiful in Arabic? (or is that jameela?) I know it means something, but i forget. (glad I spent that 3000 on tuition for arabic classes at KU)

ooooh sweet. yer too damn smart. microbiology. so you'll be doing blood tests and checking out people's mitochondria and tiny little creatures. wait, mitochondria is dna.

that's good to hear. i was reading in Science News about a new vaccine for MS, something to do with a protein (starts with M can't remember.) they said it sounded promising.

Kalil means friend in Arabic. Rakim is Arabic/North African for respectable. and Sarad is Hindi...means born in autumn.

yeah, getting sick got me into all of this. You know, when I was at the hospital the first time my mom said "so, what are we supposed to be learning from this? what's the point to this hardship?" ...i guess this is the point.

I haven't heard of the vaccine, but do know about this study for an oral medication (life would be so sweet if this works!). I think there has got to be a lot more people with MS than the society says. In my class of 11 people, including our instructor, 3 of us have it.

how about pictures of the kid?

ferreal...that will definitely change your perspective. i have a lot of hope and confidence in your potential, you know that, to do whatever it is you set out to do.

i think that's what the article i read was talking about. it's a Science News article from a couple of months ago, i should see if i can find it. i know the results were going to be published in some medical journal. i keep reading more and more articles about it, so it seems like maybe people are on the cusp of something. (hopefully. //crossfingers)

i'm working on it. i have a digital camera now, i'm just figuring out how to use it. i'll put some up when i get a handle on it. i want to see pictures of your crib.
