I think I'm getting in over my head lately. Three jobs was too much, so I dropped one, but I just doubled the time I spend at the Lovett Lab. I'm doing research with dnaA recombination and possibly some work on mutational hotspots in homologous recombination. We'll see. I'm proud of the work I've been doing--last week, I completed some ( Read more... )

In the traditional K/M household style, we vaguely celebrated the new year last night. Pacific came over, and with my parents we watched Amelie, so that we might bring happiness to 2005; the ball drop, so that we had an excuse to drink champagne; and Saved!, so that we remembered both laughter and what to work for this coming year. I followed ( Read more... )

Dear Kate,
I would like to say I was impressed with your resume. I would like to set up an interview sometime tomorrow [...]
I just got back from my interview for a job in the Lovett lab in Rosenstiel. It should fit my schedule perfectly and give me the experience I need, so I hope I get it. I looked at all the labs listed on Brandeis's bio ( Read more... )

Once again, I need to talk more in my classes. I got my grade knocked down in my seminar class last fall because of it, and again in English and anthropology this past semester. I got my grades back from Professor King's class today, and although the response I got on the semester-long project was "I'm thrilled with your final project. Your ( Read more... )

I spoke with the woman who is finding me a job (I hope) at OHSU last Tuesday. I will probably see her on the first, but I didn't want to call till Wednesday or Thursday. We'll see how this works out. I have a good chance. I need the work. I bet I'll be interested in the research, whichever lab I end up in ( Read more... )

Although the fuckbuckets down the hall keep stealing my food, I've been cooking myself nice meals lately. I've also been running and lifting more often. Not having Things To Do all the time really lets me take care of myself. This is an especially good thing right now. I've been sorting things out on my own lately. For those not in the know, ( Read more... )

It's all just a little too much to take at times ( Read more... )

Whew. Getting through the last week involved a couple nights of not getting to bed till six in the morning, but I came through all right. I can't remember the thesis of my research paper very clearly, so I'm scared to read through it now ( Read more... )

I made it back from Pittsburgh this morning in time to make it to English class. Granted, I was twenty minutes late, but I still made it. Holly said she was glad that I did, so ha. Oh, right, the track meet. The women's team came in last and the men's team came in DFL. There were a couple of individual competitors who each scored more points ( Read more... )

I had thought to catalog my Beast of the East bruises, scrapes, and other pains, but now that it's over, I remember that the process ( would take far too long. )
