| Well, it's almost 3 in the morning...I am blogging...but am not at work! In fact, I am home, in bed, and can't sleep.
I guess that happens when you've got a million things going through your head. Let me start a list:
1. my first committee meeting coming up in 1 week:
-research proposals?
-meet with boss in two days? will he like my research proposals? will they sound dumb? or unthoughtful?
-what's with that paper that proposed a model containing an inaccurate important detail?
-replication fork synthesis and RecA loading simulation...hm...the question is...how?
2. crap. change my mailing address on all accounts this week.
3. where to park the PODS?
4. crap. i'm gonna be living with another human being...which means i will need to clean on a regular basis and be considerate of another person.
5. home in 8 days. excitement, butterflies, anxiousness. i haven't seen the boyfriend in 4 months. 4 months have become 8 days. eeeeek!
6. first thing i'm gonna do when i get off that plane is run straight into his arms and give him the biggest kiss on the mouth. because i haven't got to do that in 4 months. and then i'm going to touch his face. and look into his eyes. for a long long time.
7. a long long loooong time.
8. las vegas. man. let's see how this will go. all i want to do is make beautiful memories with my honey.
9. research proposals...
-do they sound good enough?
-are they do able?
-i don't think anyone's done anything like it before...but am i mistaken?
-why isn't my fricken protein active?
-the presentation. crap. crap. crap.
-will i get diarrhea of the mouth?
-crap.
10. i'm turning 24 in january. then a few more years will pass. and i will get a ph.d. how will i tell my folks that i am going to move back and move in with hamed? my father will kill him. and then me.
11. internship. third year? fourth year? in CA? industry job in san francisco or davis/vacaville/fairfield to be near him? what about a preview of professorship by teaching at a JC? maybe the one hamed used to attend? that would be nice.
12. why does he sleep so soundly?! wake up! talk to me! i'm going out of my mind with all these thoughts! thoughts that don't even matter right now!...nevertheless, wake up! talk to me!
13. fricken mosquitoes in madison. all this fricken water...and all these fricken mosquitoes. i've got 6 bites on my left leg, and 4 on my right...all from sunday's softball game. that's it, i'm wearing jeans this weekend. and damn they itch so bad.
14. the papaya salad today is giving me heartburn. but damn shit was soooo yummmaaay.
15.

| Mission complete.
I'm getting second author on a paper in Journal of Bacteriology! :) I am finally a firm believer of persistence paying off.

| 22 days until California!!!!

| i am always working late when i blogi should be making some fresh blocking buffer right now.
but i am lazy.
been here for. way. too. long. stupid deinococcus radiodurans.
noo noo i changed my mind. it's not stupid. it's my bug! :)
i miss my boyfriend. :( but we are going to vegas with some of our college friends in august! it's gonna be so amazing. i can't wait to see him. august would make it 4 months without seeing each other. when i first moved here, we saw each other every month, then it started decreasing to 2 months, then 3 months, and now...blah. all i know is --if we can get through this together, we can get through anything that gets in our way in the future. :)
i think my PI is going to put me on a paper. i am working on producing two of the figures. one down, one more to go (the hard one).
i am working on a secret project  well, it's not really a secret, it's just something that i wasn't supposed to start on yet until i finish the figures stated above. but i am too excited and can't wait. besides, cloning is easy to do and can be done during the down periods.
summer in madison is AMAZING.
okay, ciao!

| frus-fricken-trationHad the worst day today:
1. lost my phone last night on the bus going home from work.
-the cell phone is like the right arm in a long distance relationship. i spent all night looking for it because i had thought that maybe it was around somewhere in my messy apt. it wasn't. had to cancel service this morning. didn't talk to hamed all night.
2. lost my wallet this afternoon on the bus on the way back to work from going to get a new phone.
-didn't realize that i no longer had my wallet until it was time to leave work for softball practice at 8 pm. which will lead to no 3.
-had to cancel all the credit cards --and worst of all --i now have to buy my 3rd bus pass of the year (not including friends' bus passes i've borrowed and lost).
3. missed softball practice, because without my wallet, i had no bus pass that would let me get back home.
4. experiment still has not worked.
5. dropped a metal film exposure cassette (for Westerns) on my big toe in the dark room.
what are the odds of losing two important things within a 24 hr period? oh yeah....very high. because i am a fricken absent minded idiot. i was afraid to leave work tonight. i didn't want to get hit by a bus or anything...like i almost did last tuesday going to class (my wallet fell out of my pocket, i bent over to pick it up, i looked up and there was a bus a foot away from my face. he quickly swerved to the left. and i was left alive.)
bottom line is: my life is currently one fat mess. i want my wallet and my phone back. and i don't think i have very good karma with the madison metro buses.
until next time,
k
