      Thanks! Now that I have had time to rest, I wish I were starting in the fall!

  2. ion_exchanger

    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.

      how much do you love the lab :-P

      Oh, hahahaha. I would give my pinkie to stay in this lab, although it would be hard to do research.

    Can't decide between getting an iMac or a MacBook Pro for graduate school.

      I just got a Retina Display Macbook pro, and I love it. When I need more screen space, I hook it up to an external monitor, and they're supposed to fix the issue with full-screen apps when they release the new OS this fall. PM me if you have questions. :)

      The laptop would be significantly better for me, due to portability

      Thanks guys! It's just to get you familiar with the difficulty of the test, but if you pass you don't have to take it again!

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

      Thanks! Interview went well!

  9. ion_exchanger

    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.

      ...And later it will make you cry. :P

    2. ion_exchanger

      ion_exchanger

      LOL!!!!! True!!!

  10. ion_exchanger

    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 :-/

      Just thought that I wouldn't be able to secure travel and lodging, luckily the situation has been resolved, thank goodness!

  11. ion_exchanger

      Me too. It feels so awesome, doesnt it?

    2. ion_exchanger

      ion_exchanger

      Yes! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders!

  13. ion_exchanger

      Thanks! I just hope the advisor feels the same way, and that I'm still able to do a bit of crystallography!

  14. ion_exchanger

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

    1. FinallyAccepted

      FinallyAccepted

      Rightly so.

  15. ion_exchanger

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

    1. biotechie

      biotechie

      I know! I'm going through the same thing waiting on my first paper (in this lab) decision to come back. >.< It never ends. :P

  16. ion_exchanger

    I told someone for the first time today that "I'm a first year graduate student". EEEKK!!!!

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

  18. ion_exchanger

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

  19. ion_exchanger

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

  20. ion_exchanger

    Selection Sunday! Rooting for a high seed for my future school, Georgetown!

  21. ion_exchanger

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

  22. ion_exchanger

    So excited to know where I'll be heading in the fall. Now to choose a rotation lab for the summer!

  23. ion_exchanger

    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.

  24. ion_exchanger

    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.

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