I always think that my writing voice is more pretentious than I am in real life and that prevents me from writing on the internet.

Or maybe that’s just me internalizing that, since I’ve seen other blogs dripping with conceit (this obviously does not apply to those reading this – all two of you, hah, are beautiful writers ).

Que cera cera.

I love graduate school. The people from every walk of life and every profession is so …invigorating! I had my doubts when apply to a ~private~ school but I am really happy to be going here. It seems like every week I make a new connection with someone fascinating. A year ago I would think that I was being too cheesy but now I believe it.

And the professors!
Let me make a disclaimer: I miss Georgia Tech, in all its nerdy glory. I really appreciate the holistic scientific and mathematical background I got from there.
However, even my most beloved professors were first married to their research. But here, people want to teach! People take time and hop on over from the CDC to teach you programming or whatever it may be. And the female teaching proportion is empowering, haha.
(I also made that comment about Contagion; that their representation of epidemiologists (2/3 women, off the top of my head) was really quite accurate)

P.S. – I finally understand what the ANOVA statistic is for, hah! I love math

Well, I just came back from my interview – I got a job!

It’s writing promotional pieces for the school’s technologies.

So, I should probably practice here, yeah?

:crickets:

So, as it’s turning out, some of my favorite classes so far are Biostatistics and Programming. Hm.

Am I going to turn into the dreaded cubicle-bound, melanin-inept programmer my sister always warned me about? Or will it just let me get an awesome job? You decide.

(also, yes I’m updating this! woohoo)

Just got my EMORY email up and running!

Taking only two classes makes me feel like I’m in limbo — but I get to register for my first graduate courses in a few weeks! So excited!

School tomorrow, for the first time, haha. Snow snow snow. I think wishing for it my whole life made it downpour.

I’m happy for the longer break we had, I think I needed it mentally. Now I’m ready to begin the Best Semester Ever. (and maybe last?!)

So, there is snow scheduled at the same time as my classes, guess which one I’m going to..

But since I do want to get in the habit of blogging, I will write about my classes that I will be taking in 24 hours (ish):

Physics II (ohh, scary!)
Intro to Evolution (cogito ergo sum?)
Ancient Rome (quo vadis?)
Regulatory RNA’s
Senior Seminar
Senior Research (at the zoo!)

There’s more Latin in there than I expected, haha.

Windows 7 Paint is pretty neat

2011, hello!

So, for this year I want to keep a good ol’ active blog. So, I want to participate in the Post-A-Week 2011 challenge, with this being the first one for the new year!

Happy 2011!

I hope everyone has been having a wonderful holiday!
Come on 2011, give me your best shot!
