Yuky classes eeeu

HI everybody

Sorry I haven't written in a long time. The blog went crazy on me and wouldn't let me in.
I am supposed to be finishing my Statistics homework and figuring out the paper I am going to present on Thursday, but I just don't feel like doing any of the two. I feel confident about the paper. I understand it, but last year when I had to present a paper I usually had to read it like 1000 times. This one I've only read 3 times. It scares me into thinking I am overconfident.
GOD the things you worry about in GRAD School! Jesus Christ.
So I've been enjoying the heck out of lab. I like the people, I am like the techniques, everything is fine. I freaked out when they said I had to present. I am still freaked out! Presenting a miserable paper is does not compare at all to presenting all the work youve been doing for 3 month.
Rick has been soooooo nice about everything though. I got to give him that. The guy is a quiet one but not mean. THANK THE LORD AND ANGELS OF SCIENCE. heheh.
I've been trying to match him with Maria, eventhough Maria already has a boyfriend. haha. I just tease her thats all.
I am becoming a true grad student though, in the sense that I love being in lab, and HATE going to class. eeeeuuuu class eeeuuu! smelly teachers JUK! Even the classes I thought I would enjoy this semester are just annoying things that stand between me and pipeting.
My favorite technique right now is Western Blots.... Hahaha! they are simple cute and almost always give results.
Northern blots are from Hell. I am convinced this is something the devil invented to fill up my week with radiation and incubation periods, and annoying hybridization. It is just soooo complicated.
My second favorite technique, well in this case is not just one technique it is several: Tissue Culturing.

I guess that no matter what you do every semester, there is always going to be a class that you hate down to the pit of your stomach and back, and you are just totally incapable of dropping the darn class because it is required. Last semester it was "Molecular Biology and Biochemistry" and this semester it is Statistics..... My GOD do I hate that class! But I have to admitt I hated "Molecular Biology and Biochemistry" even more.
Tomorrow is Wens. The whole day is filled with stupid classes and keeping me from pipeting.
:(
I am sooo happy though.
My husband and I are finally going to be able to live in the same house. WOW For most people that have gotten married this is an easy logical thing. FOR us, it has been almost impossible! hehehee...This is just another sign that we belong together.
Two weeks after getting married (married= 12/30/2005), I lived with him for like 8 months in LA, and then I got accepted to Berkeley. Berkeley and LA are an hour's flight away. So he has been coming up here every weekend, being the cutest thing on Earth for me while I went thru hell (last semester {see first post}).
Now he is moving up here with a new job. He is scared, so am I but it seems like we are destined to live in the middle of constant change.
