May was a busy month!

Hey peoples!

Last month was too busy! There was many a photo op and you know I had to take it. First, I was a bridesmaid for a friend whom I've known since 7th grade. Although she lives far away all I have to do is call her on the phone or make a visit and it's like I saw her yesterday. The wedding was really a blessed event. I enjoyed seeing her and her family. And I also made a lot of great friends in the bridesmaids and the grooms family. As far as hair, mine didn't get in the way (: One of the bridesmaids had traditional locs and her style was on point! I really enjoyed myself and I wish the new couple all my best!

Exactly one week later, James and I took a road trip to attend my "play" cousin's graduation party. I am so proud of her!!!! My girl is 24 years old and she just graduated from medical school. Although she was in Wisconsin, devoid of cultural fun, she's about to kick it up a notch and pursue an Opthamology research fellowship at Emory in Atlanta. Any tips on settling in? I'll pass them on (: She's incredibly sweet I only see great adventures in her future (:.

On the career tip. . .I've been conducting informational interviews. So far I've meet with someone in tech transfer and another person who consults for a biotech consulting firm. I also received some great advice from Brunsli about approaching VC from the patent law route. I really appreciate the help, thanks lady! (: So far I'm still interested in the business side of science so I'm going to continue investigating this route. I'll keep you updated. As far as my research, its coming slowly but surely. I've revised my end date to October 31--which is the date for submitting the first draft of my dissertation to the library. I'm writing it here because the more I say it, the more I'm going to believe it! That day is not to far away so its all about progress now.

Unfortunately, I've been gone for a while but I have too many photo's that I want to share so you may see random posts (outdated) in the near future. . .stay tuned.

Forget what I said -- do NOT go to law school! Go to b-school, where there is no bar exam. It's shorter too.

look at you, all dolled up and purrrty!!! I'm guessing you had your lock pinned up in the back, right? I forget: how long have you had them in for? I think our hair is about the same length.

Who is the lady with the exquisite updo?? That is one of the most amazinlgy beautiful updos I've seen! Whoever desinged and executed that is WICKED talented!

I'm sorry, I read the previous post first asking for MBA/VC updates. I love your drive and it inspires me! I like to see the steps people take because sometimes I get so anxious to live the end result. The bride is beautiful and so are you.

Hey Brunsli, if I could avoid school, I would!

Thanks for the complements Sunsail and Carmen (smile). The bridesmaid do was a rush job but my caruso's brought me through right on time.
