Anyway, I'm getting super excited for Christmas. Gift ideas and dinner plans are all coming together nicely so the stress is lifting and I'm starting to enjoy it. Natalie took me to the Chemistry grad student Christmas semi-formal dinner party thing last ( Read more... ) -

Working at the clinic this past weekend made me realize just how much I am going to miss working there. I've been working there six years now, and only have 2 weekends left to work. This job was such a big part of my 'growing up' and becoming a somewhat mature, at least professional person, that it's hard to leave behind. I want to figure out a way ( Read more... ) -
