I feel like I ought to write a more substantial update, since it's been a while, so here it goes.

I'm still sick, and I managed to hurt my bad knee again during my aerobics class on Monday, which sort of sucked.  I also had my first Endocrinology exam of the semester this morning.  I feel pretty good about the exam.  I'll have to wait and see just ( Read more... )

I know... I practically fell off of the planet.  I'm back now, though, and I hope everyone is well.  I realize I'm like two months and change behind on everyone's lives, but I'll try to catch-up later.  Reading all of those posts is a bit too ambitious for someone still recuperating from a vicious semester.  Basically, meat-space was kicking my ass ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in a while, so I figured I ought to post something.  Things have been very busy with school recently, now that the semester is getting into its full swing.  I like my classes for the most part, though I'm not a fan of a guy my Animal Cognition class.  He's a psych person and apparently studies cognition and memory in humans, so he ( Read more... )

I'm sick.  I feel like death.  It sucks something fierce.  I ended up staying home from work today because of it, which really isn't that big of deal, since my only obligations on Thursday's are a departmental seminar that I should attend, and am supposed to attend, but no one is going to wig out if I miss a couple here and there because of illness ( Read more... )

I feel like my weekend has been pretty productive, which is nice. I managed to get us completely caught up on laundry, plus I finished my lecture for this week, did all of my grading (with some help from Michael) and sent out my email reminders to my students so that they can be prepared for lab this week (yes, I spoil them). I also made some ( Read more... )

It's been a few days, so I figured I'd post something.  Last weekend we were in Washington.  We went to Legacies; it was fun, but very tiring.  It's hard doing the whole flying to get to event thing, plus the time zone difference makes it hard for me to stay awake when most of the cool stuff is going on.  Regardless, it was fun, and it was nice ( Read more... )

How many people even remember that the bombing happened today?  Josh and I noticed that not many did (not here anyway), though we did hear NPR mention it on the way home tonight.  Anyway, I just figured I'd throw that out there.  Just something to think about and all.

Well, the trials in the lab today did not go well.  We ended up calling things ( Read more... )

I haven't written recently, I know.  It's been a busy time.  Work and school have been draining me pretty good, plus there was just a myriad of personal life stuff going on.

October 24th was Maddisyn's 5th birthday, which of course was a big deal in the house.  We had a little B-day for her here with Josh, Michael and myself.  It was terribly ( Read more... )

It's official, I no longer have a gallbladder. After some nervousness and waiting that felt like an eternity, with Josh and Michael sitting by my side, waiting to send me off, I went into surgery on the morning of Monday, July 30th. The surgeon successfully took out my gallbladder, with only minor complications (my body hates general anesthesia, ( Read more... )

Tonight, I will be meeting my present mentor (from UPS) and my two lab mates for dinner.  Our mentor is taking us out to a very swanky place in Gig Harbor.  I'm excited because I think it's going to be a lot of fun, and it'll be nice to visit with each other again.  However, it will also be quite sad since it will be the very last time all of us ( Read more... )
