Happy New Year__year of the Pig__oink oink

i care if they're happy, how come noone cares if i am happy?

needless to say i can plan all i want but rarely do things go as i'd planned. sighh, it wouldn't be such a big dilemma if i didn't have this unusual fear of birds. i've been looking for a lab of interest, in which i can work for a ms degree in conjunct with the od degree. recently i found a lab that works on the regulation of choroid growth in response to nitric oxide, which fits my science background perfectly, but only to find out later that the lab uses chickens as its animal model....sighh...some twisted fate! (i tried to make peace with the chickens...but my courage was only with me as long as the chicken was in a cage and i was at least 2ft away from it.) and speaking of birds, there are too many aggressive pigeons and sea gulls in boston! on top of it, my sixth sense is telling me that something isn't right and that an unexpected disappointment could be lingering around the corner waiting to make its entrance. bahhumbug!
