When you are working on two 30 page reviews at the same time, all while conducting experiments for a paper deadline -__-.

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!

Waiting to see if my conference abstract was accepted brought me back to the same anxiety as waiting for grad school interview/acceptances.

Thinking about aims for my research proposal. Crazy to throw a crystal structure in there....right???

3rd semester, finished with all coursework, two poster abstracts, one book review, and I am exhausted!

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

Starting my rotation in my dream lab tomorrow! Hopefully this is it!

Running the risk of not being able to rotate/join my dream lab. Trying not to let the disappointment get to me, but it's hard.

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.

Addicted to UNO on my iPad, right before the semester starts. This is bad.

God luck to all who have interviews starting next week. Please try to relax, these interviews are meant to be fun!

Three finals in 24 hours. At 2:30pm tomorrow I will collapse.

Just received my first graduate school grade. Success.

My head is feeling foggy but I refuse to go to sleep without finishing this paper!

Finals week is here!

I have homework, tehehe. My molecular biology modern methods class is awesome!

Tomorrow is my first day of school. This is it. Excitement has turned to anxiety.

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

As school begins this week, my excitement has turned into nervousness. I made the right choice, right???

Two days until summer rotation ends. Two weeks until semester starts. Three weeks until I get the keys to my new apartment. Life is happening folks!

First year grad student, taking my qualifying exam in three weeks! It's just to get familiar with it, but still stressful! Don't know whether to cram study or not.

Just filled out my application for my dream apartment. Life is starting to get real!

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.
