Rargh

If there was a land of frustration, I would currently be it's Queen. There has been something wonky going on with my reactions since before Christmas and IT'S STILL GOING ON. I have never had to deal with this before, so its super frustrating and annoying. One of the techs in my lab has offered to help me out, which I really appreciate but I want to start moving forwards! Pray for me....
On a happier note, Liz and I are hosting some lovely ladies for food and to watch Bride and Prejudice tonite, then are heading out for Martinis. I'm excited! Also, the rentals are visiting this weekend, and I'll also have a party to attend. Whee!

Let's try this again....

So several months ago I tried this blogging thing, and was even somewhat dedicated for a short period of time. Short period of time meaning about 2 days before I was distracted by a shiny object, and oh yeah, the huge amount of school work I have to do. That was also before that my dear roomie, who was hosting my blog, let her account lapse and didn't tell me. But as I had not posted in ages (thanks school), it wasn't until someone asked me where the blog had gone that I lifted my head from my MSc proposal and found it was gone.
Speaking of schoolwork, I still have a lot to do actually, this blog has only just been created because of the mound of reading I have to do tonight before my night class. I seem to have accidentally signed up for a philosophy class, which I swore to never do again after my run in with a first year history of thought class. When the slightly smelly, always plaid wearing, boy from across the room suggested that I shouldn't absolutely trust Newton's law of gravity, I had to restrain myself from pitching my huge biology text book at him, then querying 'still don't believe in gravity?!' and swore never to touch such a class again. I was successful through the rest of my undergrad, but was thwarted by the vagaries of grad school course calendars and had to find something fast. So here I am, puzzling over the meaning of 'tautology' when discussing population genetics and looking for ways to do anything but this. I am however, too stubborn to leave the library, and so here I sit. Starting a blog.
After that huge introductory paragraph (somewhere Zuzu is shuddering), I will let you know that I hope this blog will be a source of amusement as I relate the crises and zany antics that I over emphasize in my otherwise quite boring life. (OMG! These two guys suddenly rose up in front of me as I sit at a third floor window of the life science library. It took me a minute to realize they were on a crane.) We'll see if I can be a little more dedicated this time. Though the crane in front of my window is still pretty cool, and shiny....
