Update: qualifying exam and such


Ok time for a little update:

1. my first rough draft of the written part of my qualifying exam is done! (I'm sure it will come back bleeding from all the red editing marks my boss is going to make)

2. Its been ~3 weeks since I've submitted my paper; no news is good news? lets hope

3. My brand spankin'new protocal is approved so animal work can resume again!

4. The humidity level in florida matches my stress level: yep both at 100%!!!!

5. I have not had a good nights rest in ~3 weeks (see above for explination)

6. I have made some awesome dinners lately and I have found that cooking a good meal helps calm me down; you learn something new about yourself all the time:)

I think that's about it...nothing much other then school and lab is occupying my entire life right now! I am however in good spirits considering the things that have been going on (see above). I have found that as I become older I can manage my stress a little better or at least hide it better:) Possibly only 1 month of this craziness left *keeping fingers crossed*

This is what writing your proposal for your qualifying exam does to you!

Some sort of healthy dinner consisting of chicken, pork, or fish
