[EDITED] Tuesday, October 14, 2008 @ 12:00 am And by "work done," I of course mean, "booze drunk." So I met up with (most of) my presentation group at Bennigan's tonight to go over what we're going to say in our short presentation tomorrow. We didn't look at the paper until 3 hours (or 6 drinks) in, and when we finally did, we got through it in, oh, about 20 minutes (or 1 shot). All in all, a very productive evening. (Productive in the sense that we peed a whole lot. Not even joking.) Well, it was worth it to bond with people I only very vaguely knew before this. I am willing to give these people a stamp of my approval. (That's a big step.) This is the abrupt end of this entry. EDIT: One of the guys in my group is a lab tech in the lab of a PI that I am interested in talking to about the possibility of doing my thesis research in her lab. She's the head of the BioScience Center here at SDSU, she is an MD from Johns Hopkins, and she has a FUCKLOAD of funding. So much so that she actually has to legally turn down grants because you're limited in how much you can get from the funding institutions at one time. She does work on cardioprotection, but the project I'm most interested in is the signaling pathways/regulation of autophagy--a process where a cell will somehow degrade its own components like organelles if they are somehow defective, or if the cell needs nutrients and other metabolic building blocks to be diverted to another system during stress or starvation. Anyway, the guy told me to come in an talk to the woman about her work. He said that she is very results-driven, and that sometimes I will have to step in and tell her if she is trying to rush things that cannot (for one reason or another) be rushed. But I can deal with that. It seems like a good opportunity. I'm trying to get the tech to butter her up first so she hears only good things about me before I see her. (Hey, I have to learn how to play the political game in science sooner or later.) EDIT #2: A guy from my Advanced Topics class--Wesley (who is a solid 7.5 out of 10, maybe higher the drunker I am)--stopped by about an hour before we left. He kinda has an academic crush on me because according to him, I'm "really smart" and I "know all the answers to every question" that the different professors ask in our class. I was flattered, but I didn't know quite how to respond to that without sounding like an ass. So I just smiled and resumed reading the paper we were all there to discuss in the first place. In the sea of thoughts inside my mind, the awkward turtle clumsily swam by... 0 Comments.
