Pardon me?

I received a rather rude comment from an anonymous person who declared I make bipolar people look bad. It was a little ridiculous.

Aaaaaaand moving on.

There is a good chance my research project will be published, and it's 99% set in stone I will be presenting my results this spring at a conference in Florida. Nervous? You bet! I'm also VERY excited. I have a good shot at a scholarship to cover the costs of going to Florida to present. And there is an opportunity to apply for a grant to fund my research this year. That would be so very super kick-ass.

I'm getting ridiculously addicted to molecular neurobiology. It's pretty bad. Genetics are freaking rad. I never understood how cool E.coli and drosophila could be. Until now. EcoR1 is groovy as well. I thinking about a getting a license plate, "GAATTC"... hehe :)

I taught myself the details of the Krebs cycles, electron transports chain, and the pretty rad mechanisms of ATP synthase (I like those beta units!). I made a three sheet poster that is on my wall by my desk. That was a pretty fun night. *Almost* as fun as the time I figured out the molecular junk of neurotransmitters turning genes on and off!

I have a crap-load of reading to do. So I kinda need to stop typing. Plus it has been a hard week so I need to keep focused. I earned the second highest score on my exam in the graduate neuro class. I was pretty stoked. The under "grad" dog kicked some ass! I needed that extra motivation because like I said, things have been pretty balls ass shitty. And more than a little depressed. And nutty. I am SO lucky to have my passion and love for my chosen field of study; it is something that can make me happy at just about any point in time, regardless of how shitty I'm doing.

Time to go read more crap now.
