| Well, I thought it was about time I updated since it's been nearly eight months!! Anywho, it's been an eventful day today. It is possible that my house (my Mayfield, KY home) was hit by a tornado today. We lost 9 trees in the yard. One limb off a maple tree was blown 77 feet (my dad, the mathematician and exacto man) measured the distance. A limb fell onto the roof of our greenhouse (which is attached to the side of the house) and knock a hole in the roof. Another limb JUST missed our SUV parked in the yard. It landed right next to it but only put a couple of light scratches on it. A smaller one landed on the hood but didn't appear to dent it. A chair was blown into my mom's fish pond...two more feet and it would have been blown through the glass in our sun room. Three panels of lattice was popped out of the fence on our back deck. Two trees were down across our driveway. A limb right next to the house was blown through the tree and was down on the opposite side of the tree. My grandpa (who lives right down the road from us) had a window in his truck busted out. We think it may have been a tornado because the trees are down in very different directions. It was one heck of a wind to blow paneling out of the fence...it has holes so it's not like it catches wind. Also, the damage was rather sporadic. Some here and there but not in a line like it was straight-line winds. Poor Pre was home all by her lonesome. Mom said she acted really scared when she got home and that she has been a pain in the ass ever since. Anywho, that has been my day. I would like to end this historic update by saying, you're welcome Sam. Also, awesome freaking job on that GRE. IT'S OVER!!! | | |
| Well, I just finished my second round of tests yesterday. They sucked, but I survived. I did fine on two of my exams...the one I had last night was terrible. It'll be ok as long as I make around the class average, so we'll see. Hopefully it will turn out ok. In other news, I have to wear a freaking wrist brace because I have an inflamed ulnar nerve...from writing. Lab is going ok...I'm keeping cell cultures and learning how to do some protein purification/detection techniques. Not tremendously exciting, but ok. Oh, and today I found out that Lexington water has a pH of 4! I'm never drinking it from the faucet again. That's just plain insane. Anywho, I'm going to go and do nothing. It's a rare occasion that I don't have to do anything so I am going to take full advantage of it! | | |
| Update coming tonight...stay tuned! | | |
| Ok...I'm really bored, so I thought I would update. (Actually, I have plenty to do, but I really just don't want to do any of it.) Things have been going pretty good. I did really well on two of my exams and ok on the other one. So, all in all, I'm off to a pretty good start. Lab has been going pretty well, too. This rotation ends in a week and a half. My next lab rotation will be in toxicology. In sports news...the St. Louis Cardinals won (yay!) the first game of a three game series with San Diego. Also, I got lower level tickets to Big Blue Madness next weekend. For those of you that don't know, Big Blue Madness is the first official practice of the University of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team. Whoop! We are seated near center court and at the end of the row which is very exciting because the players usually come down the aisles to the court when they are introduced. It'll be a lot of fun. My dad and sister are coming up also. Good times, good times. Well, I must get back to reading "Lipid packing sensed by ArfGAP1 couples COPI coat disassembly to membrane bilayer curvature". It's riveting if anyone really wants to know. (Not really.) | | |
| OMG...I just found out that i will most likely receive a backstage pass to a Green Day concert. How crazy is that? My cousin's boyfriend is in a band (Given...you should check them out. Their record is on sale at Tower Records  ). They will be going on tour with Green Day and 3 Doors Down in the near future...not sure when yet. They will be stopping in Lexington to do a concert. Well, they had an extra backstage pass, and I was asked if I wanted it (they knew that I am a huge Green Day fan). Heck yes I want it!!! All I have to do is let my cousin stay in my apartment for a night. You know what? She can stay as long as she would freaking like if she's giving me that backstage pass. Heck, I'll keep the whole band here. Seriously. | | |
