oh look an update
Ok, more details on the head injury. I have these metal shelves that were so lovingly given to me by Bek. Well, the front of them opens up and slides in, but some of them not all the way. Well, I was unpacking books diligently and I smacked the corner of the metal shelf into the softest part of my temple. It almost knocked me out. I am doing much better now, as of last night the headache is pretty much gone. And the nausea wore off some time yesterday afternoon. I will be a-ok eventually.
And, as requested by jjen, an update on the living situation.
I moved into the apartment on July 1 and nic moved in on the 17th. It's really coming together and starting to feel like a home. We are done unpacking and are now hanging things on the wall. Living with nic is going really well which is nice cuz we both had bad past experiences. Life will feel more complete once Robin moves down here when she graduates in the spring. Nic and I both want to tell her to eff school and move here now but she is almost done...and she really wants to do what she is going to school for (architecture) so it's worth the time apart though the time apart sucks.
Our apartment is downtown, right on the outskirts of all the tall buildings. We have a rooftop deck with one of the most beautiful views of the city ever. In one direction you can see the capital building and all of the beautiful buildings list up and in the other direction you can see the Braves stadium. I either ride my bike or walk to work. It's 0.8 miles so I actually get more exercise walking...and I alternate the two or decide based on how awake I am or what the weather is like.
I take the GREs August 18th and start applying to grad schools. My preference is to stay here, in the lab I am in now and continue the research I've started as an undergrad. I'm looking at the effects of interferon beta on the permissiveness of the retinal pigmented epithelium to human cytomegalovirus. It's ok, you don't have to pretend to understand that previous sentence.
Shockingly enough, I am really looking forward to school starting back. I'm a nerd.
Ok, I have some cell culture calling my name...I should get off the computer and do some actual work.
I will try to update this thing more. We should have internet at the apartment by the end of business day today. It's been too long.
Oh, and my birthday is next friday.
