Must Stay Awake...Must Stay Awake...
It's been some time since I last updated and seeing as it is 10:23 pm and I have to get up at the crack of dawn for a Dog Agility Trial both days this weekend it will be a short one indeed, but update it is, so whisperedwonder should be happy.
The reason I haven't updated is because things have been downright crazy, so I probably will only be updating once a week from now and forward.
Not much has happened- just school, cross country practice, dog obedience, dog agility, teaching dog agility, and so on. The amount of homework certainly hasn't helped either. I've just finished the first week of school and I'm pretty much in the state that I was in around mid-term time last year! How pathetic is that? I'm literally running myself ragged.
And just to let you know, scientists are out to ruin my life. After the whole thing with my first mentor intentionally lying (I refuse to tell that story once more!) now I find out that my new mentor followed in his footsteps. You see, because the Leukemia genes that I was supposed to be using the siRNA to silence were just discovered, not much was known about them so I had to work with another person in the lab in preliminary half-life experiments before my own project. My mentor had told me when I first met with her not to be disappointed if it didn't work out, because I could always take a different approach and look into why it didn't work (if that was the case) and still have a pretty good project. Well now they "don't have the resources" for me to continue my resource. And after the 100 hours of work I put in there this summer! Well, Mrs. Mooney just said her blood pressure was finally returning to normal after the last incident (which by the way, she is calling my first mentor to scream at him! lol) so I can just wait until I tell her the news Monday; she need to get it back up there anyway. When referring to the first incident she said it actually was a good experience because it shows that I am a "resilient person with a strong character." Isn't my character and resilience strong enough without going through this again ?
Well I can't think of anything else to write and I'm falling asleep I'm so tired. I'll try to update and comment more often...but don't hold me to that because I doubt the validity of the statement.
By the way, sleep deprivation and failure = story of my life...
