I discovered at our Friday lab/proteomics core meeting that I *may* have a potential project.  Of course, I was unaware of this going into the meeting.  I'm supposed to work with this guy John sometime and he is going to teach me how to use some sort of digital imaging software... and then I *think* I'm supposed to analyze some data?  No idea, ( Read more... )

Returning to Pittsburgh is always so depressing after a good weekend.  I mean, I feel like I usually like what I do here, it's just missing something ( Read more... )

Friday: I went into lab at 8, got my stuff done (and got crappy results, wtf) and was on the road nice and early to ONU.  Robert and I ran at the indoor meet that was going on that night and I ran like poop.  Like, never run that slow on a track before in my life.  My stomach had been bothering me since Thursday and reached its peak that night, of ( Read more... )

I'm engaged!!!!!! :-D

But, to backtrack a bit, I think my last Foundations test went ok, definitely should have passed it.  There were a few uncalled for curve balls that 2 profs threw in, but the rest was straightforward for the most part, and if it wasn't, it was only 1 or 2 points I'd be missing anyway.  Thank goodness Foundations is OVER!!  I've ( Read more... )

I went to ONU to visit Robert this weekend, it was fun as usual.  We went to a party Friday night as our 'cardiac arrest' costume... I really need to stop dressing up as things that people are not intelligent enough to figure out or even think funny.  Oy, lol.  I thought we were cute anyway.  I brought some of my scary movies to watch and he took ( Read more... )

This weekend (I had Columbus Day off, btw) I journeyed 9 total hours across PA/OH to see Robert and that car ride was worth every minute.  We didn't do too much besides hang out and watch some movies, but after frying my brain last week I didn't really want to do anything but relax.  However, I did manage to lower my disc golf score to a whopping + ( Read more... )

Today I was in the lab for yet another whopping 2 hours, but I got to pour 2 agar plates, woohoo!  Small victories, haha.  Very small... However, I'm delighted to say that the plate that got messed up was not one that I poured.  My PI came into the lab today and we talked Cincy food (Montgomery Inn, Skyline vs. Gold Star).  I think he was down ( Read more... )

I spent this past weekend at ONU again with Robert.  We got to see the new Batman movie, and while I agree that it is a good movie, it is rather long.  Definitely be prepared to be sitting for awhile if you go.  It kind of had a LOTR theme going on with all the scenes that could have actually been endings instead of pressing on.  Heath Ledger ( Read more... )

Boo for being back in cicada land.  Montreat was nice and deprived of that constant nuisance.  So in order to further escape Cincinnati and its beasties (and, I suppose, to see a certain boy) I journeyed up to ONU for Saturday and Sunday.  Our plans to play disc golf were once again squelched as it decided to pour on BOTH days, boo that.  Someday I ( Read more... )

It's been a good weekend.  Got to take an impromptu trip to ONU Friday and Saturday.  I think my mom is slowly and begrudgingly letting me go... she'll let me grow up eventually.  She was actually going to let me stay until Sunday before we both remembered I had to read the call to worship this morning in church.  Booo public speaking lol.  I did, ( Read more... )
