Well.

I am no longer a volunteer for my former prof. I am now, officially, her paid Research Assistant!

This makes me very happy.

That is all.

Thank you!

Well, I get to play by the MRI machine and there is a possibilty my name might go on a publication if I get to work with the data from her latest study. That would be a very nice perk indeed! I might also be able to use the hospital gym for free but I haven't looked into that yet...

The study is on the effects of prenatal marijuana exposure. That's all I can say about it for now. If my name is going to be on it you can bet I'll be letting people know!

Thanks again!

Thanks!

I was already volunteering with her for the summer - and she just got a bunch of funding, which included funds for a Research Assistant, so she said rather than work for free, why not let me pay you? And I said, okay then! She is a fantastic person, very supportive and a lot of fun to work with.

That is absolutely fantastic. Lemme do a snoopy dance for you!! (Appropriate here, not so cool at Zaphod's on Tuesday - hence, my lack of movement on the dance floor).

There is probably no other joy than getting paid to do what you like. I am sure this is just the start of bigger and brighter things!

The glare of the dance apperachnicks is daunting making Zaphod's the only place I don't dance. If you go to the site I sent lactam the other day, know that I have threatened to go to a Tuesday night wearing bright tie-dyed rainbow pants and shirt and dance in that way until they all leave, die or join in - dancefascists.
