Getting a crash course in "conference politics". Also learning that I can't assume that people will let you know things you need to do :-/

The only thing standing in my way of being a PhD candidate is the last portion of my comprehensive exam!

New Year's Eve celebrated by baking a lasagne. Happy 2015, folks.

So, I took a practice GRE test and got the worst scores I ever gotten (149Q 145V). I've been studying, too! So frustrating...

Five days into my dream rotation, and I never want to leave. This is it!

my PI told me we're not accepting any new students for this incoming year. #budget&fundingissues

I have fallen in lab. It's like falling in love with your lab. I want to be with this lab forever. Please have funding.

You think that the scariest part of going to grad school is getting in.... but then comes the craziness of selecting a lab. Then you think you're done... but you still have to do quals. Whee! But the good news is I selected a lab!

Prof didn't send her letter in to half my schools and is now on vacation without internet. Can't believe it... all that time and $ down the drain.

Thinking up a new blog post... any ideas or burning questions, my biomed and molecular bio friends?

Invited for an early interview to Michigan State University and won an undergraduate fellowship for my thesis. : )

Fall grades are finally in and its A's all around =)

Most irritating thing when you see a new message in your inbox and its not from a grad school...

I just got a phone call.... I just got my acceptance into my school and program of choice!!!!!! So excited for Fall 2014!!!

Automatic fellowship rejection email = great start to winter break. HAHAHaha...

Just received my first graduate school grade. Success.

Woohoo straight A's for the summer!

(To my amazement probably more than anybody else's) I did quite nicely in the placement exams. Things are off to a good start at Grad School, at least...

Taking my comprehensive exam tomorrow, as a first year. And it begins...

I had a successful first week of grad school classes and my rotations lab is great! I'm so excited.

Feeling encouraged by my continuous improvement on the GRE practice tests

Playing around with my online school account. My academic program says that I am effective from the Summer of 2013 to "the end of time". That made me chuckle.

Master's Thesis Defense, today. Here we go!

I probably find too much excitement in signing a lease and having a place to live when I start in the fall xD
