i believe now would be one of the high points of my time in madison.
its feels really good to know that at least some of the experiments i ran helped the lab get an NIH grant; it would be awful for me to graduate with seeing the lab shut down because of the lack of funding, and even more so when it has taught me so much and i have given so little.
my supervisor's paper finally got published by a high impact journal and my name would be in it because i chipped in with some apparently important figures and experiments - his baby for the past two years is finally going to be born; it really is exciting because the data really flies against what the whole field is thinking and the grant application got rejected last year because some people were skeptical of the results. hopefully this will pave the way for my other boss's and my data to be published- very hopefully after i graduate.
and i am seriously embarassed by advances of cold spring right now. they've been woo-ing me and sending me gifts after they offered me admissions and now jim watson the really dua kee person has just sent me an autographed book. and i've been delaying sending in the acceptance forms not because i was playing hard to get but because i've been up my neck in work and graduate school interviews. i'm just still an undergraduate now and it feels kinda weird to be showered with that much attention. so i think i better wake up my idea and send in the acceptance tomorrow. it really is too much..
but anyway, its back to studying. i got three midterms tomorrow.
(edit: and chelsea lost. that makes it complete. haha. ok shit back to mugging)
