| Hello all.
Today finds me in not the best of days. I woke up with a migraine and took a lot of drugs and it hasn't helped. Also I had the only lab for my Medical Pharmacology class today. The only good thing about the lab was my advisor was the facilitator. The problems with the lab was that I am not prepared for the test and so felt like an idiot. Half way through I began to remember more but I have little in the way of physiology background. I haven't had the in-depth classes that everyone else has had and so I am behind. Hopefully I can pull through but I am not sure. I now have to switch gears and start a seven hour experiment today. This means I won't get home until late and then I have to take my dog in to the vet clinic for x-rays. I will get to help with them but I am worried about my Nikon. Hopefully there won't be any problems with her or her hips. I can only hope that she will stay around for a long time yet. So now I am going to head out for lunch and come back and hit the grind. Hopefully I can prepare for my test next week. Wish me luck. | | |
| So again today finds me in the bottom of my building. I am on rotation number 2 and I am loving it. It is going to be very busy from now until Christmas but that is ok. I just need to start working on my paper for my one class. Today also finds me married for 6 days and I am loving it. Aside from the problem of not sleeping as well as I would like during the night I am so happy. I love my new wife and love that I am living with her. The wedding was stressful but everything went off without any real hitch. The only problem was that we heard "Angels We have Heard on High" during the ceremony and we weren't supposed to. Oh well. I don't really care because what I remember of that day was how amazingly beautiful my bride looked and how I was finally getting married to her. It kinda feels a little surreal right now but I love it. In other news, hopefully some close friends will be moving down to TN soon. I can't wait til they do. It would be really fun if they did. Anyway, I am trying to decide if I should stay in this lab or not. I know that I am kinda jumping all over the place with this entry but I am deciding the next four years of my life and while I love the surgery, I feel like the doctor I work for is always waiting for me to say something or do something when we talk. It is kinda unnerving. Makes me feel a little uneasy and I don't know if that is normal or just me. I hope that I can get past it because there just aren't many labs that perform surgery regularly or have the money for a graduate student. Then I don't want to let the doctor I work for down if I decide not to really continue in research after I get my DVM(which I really, really want to get now). Anyways, if anyone has any advice then let me know. Well, I have to get back to analyzing the tissues from yesterday's surgery. "Peace out, Napoleon" | | |
| So today finds me in the bottom of my building again. The lab
that I am currently working in is here and so that means that I am here
too. I am almost finished with my first lab rotation. It
has been fun and very productive. I have gotten so much done and
learned so much that I am now becoming an author on the paper that my
supervising Doctor is writing. That excites me. Also I get
to do fun lab stuff and as well as work with some very expensive
equipment and software programs. I love working for a academic
institution because then I got a $3600 software program for free.
It was a great feeling. So I am now waiting for things to begin
here and then I get to start my next rotation next week. I have a
gut feeling that this will be where I end up for the duration of my
time here. On a different note, my fiancee is on her way to her
parents house for a visit and then this weekend is the first in a
series of bridal showers and I am excited about both marriage and the
getting of gifts that comes along with it. Since she is away, I
get to stay with the dog again. This also means that I get to
stay at the condo. I really do enjoy staying there. I like
the freedom that comes with knowing that this is truly my place.
Not just someplace that I am renting. I own it(along with my
wonderful fiancee). We need to call it something different but I
am just not sure if anything will stick. I am excited about the
upgrades that will be happening to the condo in the upcoming
years. I am looking forward to getting to work some construction
again. First thing is getting myself moved in so that I can
officially live there. So I should probably check and see if my
doctor is in today yet.

| So I have just been gaming with the boys and now I need to go back to
my apartment and finish installing Windows XP on my desktop. I
thought I would just give a brief update on the world of Graduate
School. So I had my first two days this past week. And so
far it is really cool. I am doing things that I have only read
about in textbooks before. Such things include Polymerase Chain
Reaction (PCR), agarose gel electrophoresis and more. I was quite
excited to be able to amplify any DNA sample I so chose. And then
I got to watch that amplified DNA light up under UV light. It was
really cool. I have a polaroid picture as evidence and I will
show you if you want to see. And so now I am gearing up for this
coming week and it should be just as fun. I am not sure exactly
what I will be doing but I have no doubt that it will be fun. And
things are progressing well in the wedding preparation
department. I can't wait until I am married. This morning,
Eskimowoman, Livingitupforlife and I went to the tree streets garage
sales and I have never seen so much junk in one neighborhood. We
came away well and got some great stuff. And now I should
probably head home and finish working before my wonderful Fiancee calls.

| So here goes. Today I have to get ready to go to Myrtle Beach for
a little vacation with Eskimowoman's family. I think that it will
be fun. I still have to pack and get ready for the 5-6 hour drive
tonight. Yesterday I turned in my notice to John Deere and it
went really well. I am leaving in good standing and that means I
will get a good work reference from them. That makes me
happy. I get to start working next week. I am of course
excited about it and a little uncertain. But I think that that
will continue until I get into it and maybe even through it. So
now all I have to do is just show up next monday.
This weekend we have had interesting houseguests. Yesterday I
woke up and noticed that one of them, who had forgotten pillows and any
other sleeping items, was using my dog's bed as a pillow. I love
my dog but I wouldn't even do that. And now today I woke to find
them gone and that was a relief.
Buddah also can back last night and it is nice to have him back.
I only hope that we can play some AOE. I would love to get a game
in before I leave for MB but I don't think that will be possible.
Anyway, I might play another game of mine own. So off I go to get
ready and mostlikely kill lots of computer enemies.
