i've decided that with the birthday money from my mom and dad and the halloween bonus money from gpscy, i'm going to buy a new digital camera. specifically, this one: http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-720SW-Digital-Camera-Optical/dp/B000EA0EDO/sr=1-27/qid=1162569481/ref=sr_1_27/102-9433911-7474539?ie=UTF8&s=photo my old camera no longer has any display and i can't change the setting on it and that

now that i haven't posted in so long that no one reads this at all anymore, i can post again. woohoo!!i'm now in charge of the classes at gpscy so if you have good ideas for classes, let me know so i can steal them. the normal classes are a beer class, wine tasting, scotch, tequilla, and bartending. one idea for a bartending class would be to teach people what drinks they can make with only

well, here i am, writing up a blog entry in the koelle lab as an official member. with a project (sort of) and everything. woohoo it;s all very exciting!other than that not much is new. i lead a mostly boring boring life. i work at gpscy still. but there are a lot less people there so it's a little less interesting over the summer. i have lots of party plans in the future, including a bbq/

since i'm pretty sure i will be doing a lot of reading this summer, i might as well keep track. it will be interesting. i'll start with the end of classes two weeks ago as the beginning of summer, and then update this post every once in a while with books i read. it'll be fun!so far....the phantom tollbooth - norton justonthe princess bride - william goldmanthe count of monte cristo - dumasto

dear blog readers,with classes over and summer soon approaching, there is less work to do. once i really join a lab this may change but for now i am bored out of my mind. i've read pretty much every book that i own at least once. i need recomendations of good books/plays/things in general to read. even if the lab work picks up, i'll still need things to read while i work at gpscy (wed and sat

but for now i'll just say that sometimes my life is awesome, sometimes it's depressing, and sometimes it's just plain weird. the past few weeks have been all three.

yet another band i really want to see in concert is the new pornographers. maybe they will come to toad's place someday.it was a rather eventful weekend, although not so much an exciting week. friday, i went to gpscy for karoke with a bunch of people. i sang careless whispers, which is an amazing song, and a cute boy from hgs sang with me. after some investigative research (ie talking to

i'm way too lazy to read about more people's research and go meet with them. can't i just stay where i am? that would be so much easier. but i guess i have to do a third rotation. i think i am going to pick a lab where i can learn some new stuff. like maybe a neuroscience lab where i can do some electrophysiology stuff. stuff that i probably don't want to do for the next 5 years, but that

i lost my ipod. left it in class under my chair accidentally and now it is gone. this is the saddest day ever. i almost cried. unless some kind soul decides to return it and email me (my name is engraved on the back), i think i will be $300 poorer in the near future. grrrrrr.

"This search for meaning and coherence is profoundly challenged by our knowledge of our own mortality. Like an existentialst trickster, evolution has instilled in us the deep need to search for meaning in a universe that ultimately may be devoid of any. Existence seems to be a problem only for us humans, growing out of our capacity for reflection and our compulsion for coherence. This may be

and i couldn't be more pissed that i am not in pittsburgh right now.i am really proud of poop for getting this show passed and having the opportunity to direct it. i know it is his baby, and i'm very very happy for him. and also very excited to go back to cmu for carnival this year and see the show.however, i can't help feeling a little disappointed and left out. i should be back there

something funny sent to me from erica....a woman walks into the pharmacy and asks the pharmacist for some cyanide.the pharmacist says, "why do you need cyanide?"she answers, "to kill my husband."the pharmacist replies, "i can't sell you cyanide to kill your husband. that would be terrible."the woman pulls out a photo of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife."oh," says the pharmacist, "i

after going dancing at hula hanks (the most rediculous bar ever) last night, we went to dunkin donuts, but they had no donuts!!! wtf!?!?! craziness.the yale harvard game was fun, except for the cold and the fact that we suck. but beer before noon and free food is always a good thing. so yay.i had an interesting night on thursday. i'm not sure what to think about all that. and i'm not

yale has fantastic science. i mean, i'm currently at one of the top biology programs in the country. and that's great. biological research is what i want to do. it's why i'm here.but it isn't enough. the other reason i decided to come to yale instead of a number of other places was because i thought i would have other opportunities outside of science. opportunities to be involved in theater

yesterday was the huge halloween celebration at yale! so much fun on my favorite holiday. we started with a pre-party at chris's house, since it is also one of his favorite holidays. we ate fingers and beans, porcupine balls, boogers on a stick, and pumpkin pie, and drank cider and witch's brew. good times.a bunch of people dressed up as all the characters from peter pan. here's jeff as

i had a very good birthday. lots of friends and love and presents and drinks. and lots of good pictures....erica made me a cake with a fluffy on it. it was very cute and delicious.and here's me blowing out the candles and making a wish. a good wish of course. let's hope it comes true.this is the whole group minus a few. alice took the picture. jade and manav came in right after the picture

there are really only two things that one can do really piss me off:1. be rewarded or honored when it isn't deserved at all. like cheating or taking credit for someone else's work. or doing nothing and being given many many second chances that aren't deserved.2. promising something and then not following through.hence, i was very upset to learn last night that gerrit, connor, kaitlin and phil

i had a bunch of photos on my camera to post, and brad told me that i should update last night so for those two reasons, i am updating my blog!! hooray. not that anyone at all reads this anymore.anyway, first some concert updates. i went to nyc two weekends ago to see the killers with miklos. it was an amazing concert. we were so far away though, it was rediculous:i decided that i'm going to

here are some pictures from the scavenger hunt during orientation (about a month ago at least). we had to pose in front of certain spots in new haven. very silly and fun. the cute austrailan boy is in all these pictures. try and guess which one he is. (hint: he's the cute one)also, this is a napkin that has the med school's crest on it. slytherin, i swear.my tummy is very full of chicken

this weekend was the mcdb (molecular cellular and developmental biology department) retreat to woods hole, ma. i went because i thought it would be fun. and it mostly was. there were a lot of research talks to go to and they were pretty boring. but hanging out with everyone was cool. so yay. and there was a lot of food and wine and beer. hooray!! friday we got there in the afternoon and

this was the most rediculously fun disaster of a bbq ever! we knew the weather wasn't going to be perfect but the whole day had been rain-free and relatively nice. we kept our fingers crossed and at 5:30 i started the grill....5:50 - downpour. thunderstorm. scary shit. lightning right on top of my head. in trying to protect the grill from the rain i discovered that my ass is so big that it

this week is a special evolution schmevolution week on the daily show, and i must say that it is amazing. the debate between evolution and intelligent design being taught in schools as described by jon stewart. definitely worth watching every night this week. (not that that is a problem since i don't actually do anything exciting in the evenings) i love it! as a scientist, and specifically a

so as you know if you've been reading this stupid thing over the past week or so, i recently bought a little charcoal grill. tonight we decided to invite people over for the first (hopefully first of many) bbq in our backyard. a bunch of people came, we ate, we played eat poop you cat, we laughed and generally good times were had by all. here's a pictoral telling of the evening. photos were

gerrit would be so proud of me if he read this blog and knew. but he has more interesting things to do than read blogs. perhaps i will tell him about my biking when i call him obnoxiously tonight (like i do every night and will continue to do until i get very busy or he gets pissed off and yells at me to stop :p ). i also auditioned for a play: Pirandello’s Henry IV, in a new adaptation by Tom

at least it's better than gargling salt water. gross.today was the first day of classes for me. yale has this "shopping period" thing were you don't register for classes until 2 weeks after everything starts so you can sort of experience the classes before committing. kind of weird but kind of good. i went to two classes today. the first was a molecular biology of prokaryotes very similar to

stupid mono.it was still a lot of fun even without the drinking. i hung out at first with a bunch of bio people. we are going to have a lot of good times i think. they all like to drink and dance and have fun. so that is good. after the first bar, the people in charge split us up into different groups to go to different smaller bars. at the time of splitting up, i was talking to this cute

one of my favorite shows ever. but the last song really got to me tonight and i just cried like my heart was being ripped into a million little shreds. i don't know.other than that and the fact that i have mono and can't do anything half of the time, things are good. i've been meeting a lot of new people, some bio and some not. i probably won't see much of the non-bio people after orientation

how exciting and fun. at least i now know why i've been feeling so crappy physically recently. i also wonder if i've had this since fourth of july when i thought i had strep throat. i will probably be the only person in history to gain wait while having mono because i'll be too sick to exercise but not too sick to eat. hmmmm...but someone should buy this for me because it would be funny. you

and i hate them. especially when they are black and mushy and have been frozen but defrosted and you have to make banana bread out of them. gross.moving to new haven, part 1:yesterday we moved my furniture and half of my stuff up to my new apartment. it was not exciting. instead it was hot and i was very very sweaty and gross. the apartment is nice, my room is nice. it will be very pretty

the lab went out to lunch today at that indian bistro across from the centre ave geagle. it was a very nice buffet lunch, but i guess i ate too much because now my tummy is sad. poop.i'm having big issues about leaving in four days. i'm ready to get out of that busted house, i'm ready to be done with work and not have to worry about that, i'm ready to be done with cmu, but i'm not ready to

or at least of my summer, which pretty much ends on monday. but here are some highlights....we got so much beer for this party that it filled up the entire fridge. crazy. we even made jello shots because everyone loves them. gerrit and kaitlin (well really just kaitlin) made the burgers. meanwhile, sara and the daves set up the tiki torches which ended up looking awesome! as always, connor

i want to post an awesome post about the party this weekend, including photos and fun, but i have to put the pictures on my computer first and the cable is at home. poop. yesterday was a stupid day. gerrit and i were going to go out for fancy dinner but then he didn't have any dress shoes. poop. so we ate pasta and leftover chicken instead. and went to hemmingways with connor. and watched

and that is sad because if they were ready, i'd have something to do right now. but instead i have an excuse to do nothing for a little while longer. and that is also ok.i decided a long time ago that the worst thing about working in a yeast lab is when you come into work really really hungover and have to either streak out a lot of yeast colonies or pour plates. the fermentation smell is

today i have absolutely nothing to do in lab. i've been here for two hours (after taing a teachers' lab course since 7:30 this morning) and all that i have done was to start some cultures for tomorrow. it's really lame. poop. i finally had gotten my experiment to work at the end of last week and sent my newly made plasmids off for sequences. i needed to check that the mutations i had made in

it has been one crazy, soggy weekend! friday was incredibly sucky because everyone i know and usually hang out with left town or the house at any rate to be anti-social. that left me on the couch in front of the tv. i finished wicked though, and worked on my cross stitch. i decided to go to the end of the harry potter party at barnes and noble in squirrel hill. after some investigation of

two nights in a row of going to the southside have been lots of fun. wednesday we went bar hopping and last night we went to smokin' joe's for their amazing wing and beer deal. hooray! kickball on wednesday was also lots of fun, even though i suck at all things athletic.today is harry potter day, and i'm excited to get the 6th book tonight! it will give me something to do while gerrit goes

last night i went to see tommy with beej and mike yin. beth, ashley, aaron, and ram also went but they had nice tickets and we had ass second tier tickets. the show was good overall and i only have two complaints: 1. as beej said, the pit sounded like they were playing in a tin can, which was kind of true because they were playing in an actual pit under/in front of the stage, and the drummer

last night gerrit and i decided to make homemade strawberry ice cream in his awesome ice cream maker. without a food processor or a egg beater, we chopped up the strawberries and smushed them with a fork and beat the egg whites until they were white and fluffy... hard work! while the ice cream was freezing we decided to make whipped cream with the left over heavy cream. also made the

well if that's true than i'm done with death for a good long time. while i was home in new jersey at the end of may one of my brother's good friends was killed in a car accident and my grandpa ange (a old friend of the family) also passed away. this week it was effion. all three were people that i wasn't particularly close to or hadn't seen in a long time, but still, all three deaths were

last weekend when i went to the point with gerrit, connor, ashley, and julie, the boys played frisbee while i wandered around with ash and took pictures. here's my favorite; it's connor catching the frisbee while ash watches, seated on the ground:for fun, i played with it in photoshop, just making it black and white and adjusting the contrast slightly:i will probably print this one out when i

last night's concert was the stars. the opener was the most serene republic, and they were really good. at first the singer's voice bothered me a bit because he had a very nasaly, highish voice and he would go flat on all the top notes. but they grew on me and by the end of the set, i really liked them. upbeat, exciting, and fun. stars were also really good, although their music is a bit

ted leo was awesome last night. even with all the crazy "the show is sold out" crap. good thing we drove from pittsburgh to cleveland and the door man took pity on us. having beth stand there and make friends with him and offer to buy him drinks helped too i'm sure. we missed the first opener, but from what i could hear outside the grog shop, they were pretty bad so that was ok. the second

as promised, in my last 20 minutes of illing time at work, here are the crazy dreams i had last night....i had three different dreams that all took place in the same setting and all three involved death. everyone was staying in this really nice hotel and there was a large auditorium, similar to the one in the mellon institute only much nicer. in the first dream, ram died (sorry). and we held a

so remember those nice pictures of my pretty apartment that i posted a few days ago? you can probably scroll down to see them still. well funny story.... the landlady aparently had also shown the apartment to other people who had also given a deposit and signed a lease. so she made her final decision on friday and decided to give the apartment to the other people. giant suck. erica, carolyn

well, i am now an alum of carnegie mellon university. it doesn't feel any different; i'll still be here working in lab a bit over the summer. plus they messed up my diploma and gave me an extra degree in psychology. and forgot that i was in the science and humanities scholars program. oh well. i won an award for being an awesome girl in mcs that involved me getting money. and the present
