whoa, it's been a long time again.
everything's nuts, research wise. in a crazy, fun, exciting, but totally scary way. things are starting to happen, but with that comes all kinds of expectations. like, this could be something really cool, so don't eff it up. that may be a bit cryptic, but I just don't have the energy to go into all the details right now. there just aren't enough hours in the day for all the things that I WANT to do, let alone have to do. most days in the lab are at least 12 hours and, well, it's 1030 on a Friday night and I'm writing a research summary for a grant proposal that I promised my supervisor I would have to him today.
fortunately, it's still technically today.
if this paper comes togetehr like I hope it does, I have a really good shot of doing a really great postdoc with a really amazing scientist. I finally got up the nerve to tell my supervisor who I want to work for and he thinks it's a good idea. amazing.
not much else is new because there isn't time for much else. I miss my friends.... especially the cranberry wensleydale ones. I had a nice dream about us last night. I was half hoping you'd still be up and in the land of skype tonight. I'm neglecting social things woefully right now.
enough procrastimatation, back to that research summary.
I just looked at the cover of a time magazine and one of the headlines was "afghan girls fight to go to school". right now I feel really privileged to be getting the education that I am.
