(no subject)
There have been some vaguely annoying events recently, but overall I feel more empowered than I have in the past. I did not get the SURF grant I applied for; this was a small blessing in disguise, as it catalyzed my telling my research professor and the Honors Program to shove it regarding the Goldwater scholarship. Because I did not get the grant, I may have no summer activity planned. The dean of admissions at the medical school told me to apply past the deadline to the summer research/clinical skills program there, because students in the Combined Program are supposed to be guaranteed a spot. I may get to do that if there is enough funding; otherwise, it's find a job and volunteer to my heart's content.
In other news, I am going to be stepping down from Honors Council next year in an effort to increase my sanity. Rubyfruit makes me happy; research feels real; and school is busy. These are enough activities.
I should be studying for an organic chemistry exam and another in developmental biology. Did you know they have characterized certain medical conditions with very specific events occuring at very specific times after conception (I'm talking down to the hour)? Mammalian development is the shit.
