They have eaten my soul and drank my lifeblood.  Not to mention my wallet!  But thank god it will all be over soon (almost).  Officially I have 3 left that I *should* do, but I have turned in 19 so far, and my motivation is waning.  Not to mention I got 2 interview invitations last week (SQUEAL) and I have so many things to do to start preparing for them.  I can’t believe the end is almost in sight.  I am really looking forward to going back to school again, if I get in somewhere this cycle.  I can’t deal with the lack of goals or schedule, not to mention the inherent nowhere-ness of my career right now.  People tell me that these should be the best times of my life…but why do I feel so unsatisfied and direction-less, without this goal of getting into med school? I think I need to be a more adventurous person.

The really funny thing is, I am looking forward to the mundane aspects of interviewing more than the actual interview (which is very scary right now).  I have to buy a real suit…and plane tickets…and actually fly to other states on business?  I love doing all these grown-up things~!

Things at work are going very well, and for once I am really excited about the experiments that I have going on.  I think part of it has to do with my boss being more interested in what I am doing.  But mostly, it’s just that things are working out for once, experiment-wise.

Fall is upon us, and winter is nipping at its heels…I’m getting ready for another season of gloominess and rain.  It is really windy outside and I have been holed up in my room all day, waiting to go to work in an hour (boo for a Saturday). Hello from Seattle!
