in blogging and science!

I need to stop posting about my freak show of a high school. Let’s review:

Super fertile Kurt

Jesus-finding Jeff

She’s a Survivor Becky

Google karma was sure to catch up with me. So a big HELLO to Jeff the Jerk! Who I suppose is probably not a jerk anymore, despite what I wrote. Let’s all hope none of us are still frozen in our old high school mentality. Good god…I would be…*shudder*…yeah, let’s not go there. Anyway…SORRY I CALLED YOU A JERK! I’m sure Jesus made the right decision to appear in your shower.

Tell your mom I said “hi.” And…you know…uhhh…don’t tell my family about my blog.

sweet science-fu

So there is this one experiment that has been the bane of my existance for a while now. Why bane? Because 2/3 of the data from my 2nd project HINGE on the results. If the results showed one thing, it would mean reconstructing many strains and redoing all the experiments. If they turned out the OTHER way, it means…DONE! The problem has been just getting the damned thing to work!!!

Many weeks spent trying to get it to work. With my adivsor breathing down my neck, which is NO MEAN FEAT, as she is in NC. “YOU NEED TO GET THIS DONE, ESC! WE CAN’T INTERPRET YOUR DATA WITHOUT IT! YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO DO THIS BEFORE YOU CAN GRADUATE! AND HAVE I MENTIONED THAT YOUR FUNDING WILL BE CUT OFF IN MAY???”

gah!

So yeah…anyway…results today:

you see this?

IT WORKED (trust me)! and NOT ONLY did it work, IT’S THE RIGHT RESULT! I’M DONE BITCH!!!

My advisor’s response via email?

“great! now blah blah other stuff…”

great? GREAT??? IT’S FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC, BITCH!!! My advisor has trouble expressing emotion. Emotion other than disapproval, that is.
*sigh* and there was nobody around to take me out for a drink. Doesn’t matter - I left early, got my hair cut, bought some champagne*, some lipstick**, and I am HOME. Not going back until next week, and ONLY to help pack up the lab and send it off. Then nothing to do but WRITE MY ASS OFF!

after the beach, of course. ahhhh…can’t wait for the beach…
* realized that the girls and I will be getting our hair done around the time we should be eating lunch before the wedding. helpful salon ladies made suggestions. So it’s mimosas and nibbles*** to nosh on while we’re being pampered. It’s a rough life.
**I bought lipstick last week - the “stay on all day” kind - for the wedding. I really liked the color…until I got it home and tried it, and realized that the reason I liked the color so much was that it was the EXACT same color as my lips. so that was a waste of $8.

***hey Cinn, care to donate some caviar? ;)
