still here...

Post number 2! Amazed? So am I...

I guess it's been awhile since I've posted. Whoops... but really, nothing has happened since my last (first!) post. The monster is still cute most of the time. But I've really got to get him to stop chewing on my hands, and I don't know how. Any ideas would be welcome...

School is, well, school. I'm trying to write my research proposal, and it is definitely not as easy as I thought it would be. I've lost countless hours of sleep this week working on it. And, since I haven't had any experiments this week, I've banished myself to the other, smelly lab so I can write with, well, minimal at least, distractions. And I would like to think I've gotten a lot done. I guess I have, but it's still not completed, so I feel like I haven't done anything. But I promised the boss I would have a copy for him Monday. Then, I can give it to my committee members, set a date to present it to my committee members, and hopefully get it passed, before Christmas. Wow, I think my stress level just went up a million points (or, because I'm a nerdy scientist, 1x10^6).

Anyway, I'm off to look watch tv, and actually get some sleep tonight, because the rest of the weekend will be spent writing and prepping for experiments next week. Good thing I love doing what I do!

ps- I guess I should say 'go frogs!' They are number 4 in the BCS ranking, and tomorrow's game will have ESPN's college game day broadcasting. So, go frogs!
