Endless Horizon
I never knew that LJ had a 'high' mood. I'm intrigued! Oh hey, by the way there's a secret somewhere in this post. See if you can find it. 
I don't know what it is, but I think I'm too much of an idealist. Everything seems so damn tempting. I have plans to learn to scuba dive this summer if all goes well, and earlier today I was talking to someone about how much a sail boat costs and the monthly cost of slip fees. He said he knew of one for 3,000 and then a slip is 300/month. I heard that Ventura is 600/month, but that's still not too bad I'd say. Maybe. But now I have grand images of doing this. It's very tempting. Live on a boat during the school year, I'd do research most of the day. Sail on the weekends down to Monterey, go diving. Maybe sail out to the ocean where all around me is horizon to study. Being surrounded by nothing but potentiality. It seems like bliss to me. I think, if possible, I'm going to live in a boat during graduate school. I can't think of any other way I'd like to do it. During breaks or something I'd go sailing. Swing by Texas for a bit, maybe Florida. I'm insane. I know.
Another thing I'd really like to do is find a lab that is willing to let me do the research I want. Find out what is necessary for two cells to work together and cooperate. See if I can test the requirements for endosymbiosis. Find some way of efficiently testing the theories. I know they would have to rely on chance mutations and DNA fragmentation or something. I don't know how I would do it, but I want to. I could get lost in a lab for hours doing research and looking for things like that. Just theorizing ways that it could be done, and seeing if it is feasible. I'm loving the lab I'm working in now, despite having made some very embarrassing mistakes. I just want to get out of that awkward nervous phase I have whenever I start something new. OH WELL. All in due time.
HAPPY HUNTING
