They told me to write!

Hey My Peoples!

Here's an update. I just had a meeting with my Thesis committee today where I described the three projects that was working on. At first I was nervous because I didn't know if they would think that I had enough data to constitute a thesis, but luckily I have too much data! (:

Basically I was told to write up the first and second projects and get the first one accepted in to a research journal and then complete the third project as a postdoc once I complete my thesis.

So basically, my committee told me to write up my data, and they will be chapters in my thesis! The experimental drudgery is over, let the writing begin!

Thanks again for your encouragement and your support. Keep praying because your prayers are working. I will keep you updated to let you know the defense date. I'm aiming for august but that will depend on the peer review process so we'll see.

Stay Tuned. . .

OBAMA! 08! YES WE CAN! YES WE DID!

Hey blog family,

I haven't posted in a while because I have been working fervently in lab and finishing up experiments. I have a penultimate meeting with my thesis committee on June 16th so I pretty much have no life until my committee gives me permission to write my dissertation.

But today I just had to stop and mark this historic day. BARACK OBAMA HAS WON THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION!!!!! He surpassed the number of delegates needed to win!

Last night was surreal. It was so anticlimatic that I couldn't believe that it happened. But when I saw his speech I knew it was true. Obama makes me so proud! I'm proud of this country, I'm proud to support a winner, I'm proud to know that someone who I trust and believe in will be our next president!

I'm just smilin' today and I don't care. I have my "Obama" T-shirt on and it feels good to represent! I hope you all enjoy this day because we've just experienced history!

Well, back to work, I'll keep you posted on my defense date.

Chi(:
