so much to discuss! the last week or so has been busy, as will the next two weeks. my ommittee meetign is thursday which will largely decide my fate in grad school. one more year, two more years? who knows? i also gave a talk, an di think it went over well, though i need to work on not speaking so quickly. i'm getting better, but i need more practice. time limits make me nervous. buti wil have another opportunity to speak in two weeks at the pharm student symposium. in more science news, i was also awarded a scholarship to go to this conference in colorado! they are giving me $1000 to spend on my lodging and registration, and plane fare. i feel like maybe i actually am a good scientist!

i haven't spoken to my sister in a while. i miss her. its cool that she is in london, but i am sad that i can't jsut call her up and say, jay-gemeister, what's up? but i will see her in a month, and it will be awesome. j- this means you ;)

also, tonight i approached a guy with no other line than "hi". it worked fabulously, and i got a number, even though he is only 23. i was aiming for the older men, but i always end up with the young ones. i don't knwo why this happens. but whatever, maybe i'll get a date out of it, and some fun. at this point, thats all i'm really looking for. i kind of like the freedom of looking for my next job anywhere i want. (that said, i'd still like to meet Him, but its ok if i don't quite yet.) so that's all for now folks ;)
