I had a job offer today! I havent accepted just yet, but I probably will tomorrow. I'll be a Research Technician III at the CCRC and heading up a recombinant protein project. The pay is ok, (more is always better!) and it comes with full benefits and a decent amount of paid vacation.

Looks like I will be in athens for a bit longer after all!

Tonight I ran 3 miles nonstop in just over 30 minutes.

Halfway to meeting my goal before the Peachtree - 84 days to get up to 6 miles.

Strange little pre-interview for a job today went really well. It would be fulltime researching recombinatorial proteins with full benefits at UGA and pretty decent pay.

Stand back, i'm going to do SCIENCE!

Presentation of my research went really well today, had several faculty researchers say many good things and even more when they found out I won the best research paper award. Not only that, but the award ceremony was pretty painless and the prize money very appreciated!

Time for celebratory glass of wine, 2 mile run, then more wine!

I just won an award for Best Paper in the Sciences from the Center for Undergraduate Research at UGA.

Fuck yeah! Now time to take a cell bio exam.

"Each step I take
May it hurt may it ache
Leads me further
Away from the past
But as long as I breathe
Each smile in my bleak face
I'm on my way to find
Back to the peace of mind"

Now, its about fifty orders of magnitude better - but still goes to show you can't polish a turd.

Close to being done with school, these next exams are very tough and hard to digest the material for the exams so i'm a little worried but think I'll do well. So far, I have a 4.0 this semester - Hopefully I can keep it that way ( Read more... )

Back from Seattle, and getting to the 48 hours without sleep mark so its important to put my thoughts somewhere I can find them later, otherwise they might vanish forever ( Read more... )
