Good scary Times....

Well I feel like it has been a long time since I've written. Enough time so that something good was allowed to happen. We finally found a suitable apartment for us. It is a loft 2x's the size of the 1 bedroom in which we live in. We actually painted the walls so I think it is going to look SUPER cool. I can't wait til I have all my stuff over there, organized.
Another good thing is that my friend passed the Qual! YEY! So we are all back on track. Now it is just a matter of Maria and me passing it.

Oh yeah, I finally found 3 suitable aims that I feel confident about. I've talked to 2 professors and they approve. I had a practice Qual with my friends and tomorrow I will practice with a professor and my classmates. I've gotten to the point where the desire to get this over with is overshadowing my fear of taking it. I've written a couple of sentences on the background.
So everything is on track for that..

I have so many experiments I have set up. And so many others I still haven't analyzed at all. I am kind of scared to analyze them because if the results that I need/expect are not there then I'll be in big trouble. I will have to deal with Post docs and lab meeting heckling all over again. At the same time the reason why I haven't done it is because again I have soooo much shit to do it is not even funny. The worst thing is that I keep getting pulled into doing all of these things around 5pm outside of lab so I haven't had the chance to just stay in lab a whole 20 hours and just get everything Done....

But cheerios. Who cares. I am happy that nothing terribly bad has happend and also that I am finally on my way to finishing this Qual Crap... I just can't wait to have it done. I can't even imagine how good it is going to feel to pass it, to actually be done with it and tell my PI right to his face that I passed it. I really wonder how he will react. Probably like if a fly is buzzing around him. He'll pass his hand in the air to push the fly away.
Maybe he'll murmur a good, now get me some real results. Who knows, who cares. I just can't wait to visit my family to go to the Dominican Republic for Christmas to get back to my hobbies. ETC ETC ETC....
I just can't wait to get back to LIFE!
