Last week was National Lab Week. Enormous amounts of food were eaten and I participated in the Amazing Lab Race. It's like the Amazing Race, just with lab stuff from each of the departments. Lots of fun ( Read more... )

I am ASCP certified! I'm glad that I passed it on the first try or else I'd have to pay another $200 to take the exam. Now I can practically work anywhere in the country and be recognized. Plus I get a pay increase of $1.50 which means I would now make $24.00/hr. I was soo nervous. The exam is tailored to how you are doing and I seemed to be ( Read more... )

By the end of the year, or about the time I get my own place (prob. a year from now), I'd want to have the PS3 and build a new desktop computer and possibly give my laptop to my dad or sister. I'm really itching to build a computer! I'd also like to get one or two of my loans out of the way and to max out my Roth IRA for the year. I now have to ( Read more... )

So some panel says that it is recommending that children 18 and younger should all get the flu vaccine. Unfortunately, the last time I checked, our lab has been receiving a bunch of positive influenzas, which means either a lot of individuals did not get the vaccine (which is unlikely) or the vaccine is not working because it is not accounting for ( Read more... )

Britney Spears - Ugghhh!  A waste of time.  It's to the point where it's annoying.

Adnan Ghalib - What a loser.

Amy Winehouse - Annoying druggie.  I know, let's give her all these awards and maybe she'll stop... wrong.  Excellent role model.  Go away.

Baseball Steroid/HGH Scandal - Move on already.  Congressional hearing was humorously pathetic.

So snow caused me to miss my first day of work. They called and emailed me yesterday and told me to only come in if I felt it was safe enough. I saw the roads at 5am and they didn't look well at all so I called them about 8am and let them know. They understood.  Instead of work, I shoveled snow.

Snow also ruined my graduation as it was canceled ( Read more... )

I was going to update but there is a huge snowstorm hitting the area and I have to get up super early to clear the driveway and such. If I do not go into work, I will update in the afternoon. If I do go into work, I will update in the evening.

an update that is... perhaps this weekend?

LEGEND!

Ok, so I'm not a legend (not yet anyways!  haha), but I AM a future microbiologist of America, (more specifically Bridgeport, but who really cares!)!

Mom and bro are coming in 10 days

Graduating in 12 days

It's gonna be crazy!

Took my written and driving test today and passed with flying colors!  Now all I need is a vehicle!  I can get one my dad says, but it has to be around the price range of the car my brother got.  (brother lives with my mom now and is helping him with car payments every other month, so he said it's only fair).  My brother has a Nissan Versa so I was ( Read more... )
