Lately
::Warning::Lengthy entry::
Ok, Life Update.
I have been so out of touch since I moved to athens, that my only contact with people that I used to be so close to has been livejournal. Selfishly I read all about what has been happening to all of you, but rarely ever post myself. I don't even see Trinity, who lives 5 minutes away. That will change.
I graduated Dec 2005, and immediately started working on my Masters the following January. You hear about graduate school completely taking over your life, but for some reason it doesn't really hit you until you spend the entire summer in a lab while your friends get to backpack around Europe. I am almost done with my coursework so I just have to finish my research project and write my thesis. I have no idea what I want to do after I graduate. I can only stall in school for so long to keep getting student football tickets. I am only taking one class this semester, but I am still working in my lab every day all day and most weekends. I keep my sanity by playing PS3, homebrewing beer, and complaining about grad school with other grad students.
Spring break my boyfriend scott, my lab mate Jaime,another grad student and friend Adriano, and myself went snowboarding in west virginia. It took about 2 weeks to heal completely.
::Boring part::
Ok I'm gettin my masters in veterinary entomology (no i'm not going to be a vet). I study disease transmission from insects to animals and then to humans. My thesis is about bacteria being transmitted to chickens that will be eaten by humans, which could then infect humans. Fun, huh! I also have been working on a side project about Brown recluse distribution in Georgia. As if I wasn't weird enough. I have three brown recluses and two tarantula's that guard my desk. Keeps people from messing with my computer.
That's kinda the reader's digest version of my happenings over the last year. Sequestered in my lab, like a mad scientist. I'm not sure if it is because I am getting older or because I spend all my time with scientists, but I have noticed that I have become a bit socially awkward. Start thinking those mad scientists were just misunderstood...
Ok back to work before my advisor walks in a see's me goofing off on livejournal. What could be better than testing flesh eating beetles for the presence of Salmonella? a Beer
