that was fast.
so january was pretty busy. what with crazy obsessive wedding planning going on all. which is how we got our venue, caterer and photographers booked within the first month of our engagment. . . but then this is not our wedding blog.
i was also busy with work, of course. i finished my big 3rd year talk last week too. it's the last talk i'll ever have to do for mcdb. also i found out i'll be going to woods hole MBL this summer with my boss! it's in cape cod! where there are lobsters! and scallops! maybe crabs! so looking forward to it. although it would be 2 weeks of lab work from 9 til midnight apparently. and living in a dorm. why conjugal bathroom, why? well, i should just think of the lobsters. yummmmmm. . .
also another thing work-related; may have finally gotten the dratted 3' end of my cDNA. i was close to giving up on it but instead i changes a bunch of variables in one run and voila! bands! which is good because i really need something to push me to work. it is sooooo hard to get motivated to work. i don't know if it's the weather or just that there are a lot more things i could be doing. . . and i can't help but think that i might not be cut out for this after all. it requires too much. . . thinking. . .and commitment. . . everytime i get asked about what i'll do with my PhD, I honestly don't know what to say. it's easier to fib though and say i'll put up my own lab blah blah blah. . . i really think i would much prefer to get a real job although what those actually are i'm still not sure of. . .
there's time enough to think about that i guess. . .

ey jona! i understand your grad studies dilemma -- about getting a real job and not knowing how to answer "so what's next after PhD?". ewan ko nga ba bakit ako pumasok ng grad school. nwei, about Woods Hole, where are you staying? Swope Center? mas ok dun kasi 1 bathroom/room. unlike the other building (forgot the name), which is really dorm-like. sana makapunta ka dito. :-)
jona! ako rin thinking about PhD at kung dapat ba kong nandito. iniisip ko minsan mag-quit kasi right now i don't think i want to do postdoc afterwards. pero reading your blog, then hearing it from other grad students too, di kaya normal lang to at pinagdadaanan ng lahat ng grad students? so paano mo malalaman kung dapat ka mag-stay? hayy...anyway, inggit ako! ang sarap ng summer mo... bisitahin ko kaya kayo dun?
