My journey as a West Coast transplant, living and learning in the South, on my ongoing quest to prove that a smart scientist can still maintain a little bit of style.

Proposal Updates
1. A new, awesome-er, draft is sitting on my boss's desk. Just need him to actually read it! But thanks to help from friends and lots of reading and thinking, they are getting better each time.
2. This whole thing is taking over my dreams, however. Trent had to wake up early for morning crew practice. The main alarm went off and he went to get in the shower. Then his cell phone alarm went off. Instead of just turning it off, I yelled for him to come deal with it. My understanding, at that sleepy moment, was the alarm was the sensor for my protein being around in the wrong phase of the cell cycle.. which is half of my thesis project. Nerd alert.
3. Happy birthday wishes to my newest brother, Rob. Hope you have a very happy day.
4. Trent found me this picture. He likes to send me awesome random shots throughout the day to cheer me up. This is what I imagine I will be like the week after my orals are done!
But seriously, does anyone know what those creatures are? I kind of need one.
They're not marmots?
ReplyDeleteNutrias? Looks like a FL swimming pool and Nutrias are the scourge of the Southern states.
ReplyDeleteScourges?! But they are so freakin' cute! They can all come live at my house. I am sure Sadie wouldn't mind.
ReplyDeletethey look like dassies.. I saw one in South Africa when I was there. I guess they are super common because everyone was making fun of me when I was excited about seeing them.
