So, I just went on my first blind date ever... Yeah. It wasn't bad. The guy was nice though not my type really. I don't know about blind dates though. It just doesn't seem very natural to me. I was so nervous before. I bought a new outfit and everything. I looked pretty dang good too. Wow, I think every post on this thing is about boys... Why are they so aggravatingly attractive? Life would be much easier if they weren't cute.
So, other than boys, life is pretty good. I work in a meth lab which is lots of fun. I give rats meth and then remove their brains (you don't want to know how), mush them up and do assays on them to compare how they reuptake dopamine. It's really quite fun and I enjoy it a lot. I love discovering new things. I love getting results that fly in the face of accepted knowledge and challenge what you thought was truth. It's like being a detective. Or a truth seeker. I really love the pursuit of scientific truth. I'm glad that I know what I am passionate about. It makes life much more enjoyable when you wake up and like the thought of going to work. I think all of these facts definitely qualify me as a nerd.
I am loving Salt Lake! It is a really fun place to live. I have great roommates and somehow managed to move into another fantastic ward. I am working on my grad school applications, hoping to have them in no later than November 1st. I am excited to move ahead in my career. I am applying to pharmacology and molecular biology programs at five different schools across the country. I am planning on researching cancer from a pharmacological standpoint. My plan is to get a PhD in 5 years and then go into the pharmaceutical industry.
Well, I get tired of talking about myself... Maybe that's why I don't update this too often... Oh well! Life is good and I'm happy!
