Feeling pretty good and what it means to be strong
I've had a nagging earache for the last few days and knowing how painful full-blown earaches are, I decided to visit my doctor this morning to get it checked out.
Last night it was hurting quite a bit, so I poured some rubbing alcohol in it (always the scientist... if alcohol kills bacteria in lab then why not my ear canal?) Turns out my doctor ( Read more... ) -
Long weekend
I'm a little tired because I was up most of the night chilling with two polish people and a Turkish guy. The new Post-doc in Skinner group is named Piotr and he lives pretty close to me.

I may not be informed on all issues, but I do know people, so I usually can find why someone would ( Read more... ) -
Schools back!
Okay, so I've been back in school for awhile, but I'm just feeling back into the groove since I had my first lab this morning. It went really well! My students amazed me with their quick relaxed nature in approaching me, and it paid off! I had tons of questions, lots of learning, and their results were phenomenal!

New Phone!
Sprint Samsung InstinctI bought it today! It took 3 calls to customer service and a little bit of getting ahold of the right person, but I got the cheap deal on the Instinct. As a Mac fan - I have been tempted by the iPhone - but the Instinct is cheaper, has a better plan, and more options. Plus, I don't have to break my plan with Sprint ( Read more... ) -
