Still alive!

I've been wondering about this blog too. I"m glad someone posted, haha.

I'm happy to hear that Mel is doing well. I've been pretty busy myself, although probably not as bad as Mel. My everyday consists of going to lab and staying there the whole day, either doing lab work or sitting in my office taking care of other stuff. I decided to join the university choir this year, so I'm doing that every monday and wednesday from 7-9pm. I also decided to be the organizer for the mentoring program that we have in our department, so that takes up a chunk of time as well.

Aside of that, I really haven't accomplished much. I hang out with my friends occasionally, or go over to my boyfriend's place to just chill. I played Risk for the first time last weekend, and while I lost, it was a lot of fun. It's starting to get cold over here, so that also means cold season for Yuri.

On the other note, I went to see Cirque de Soleil few weeks ago with bunch of my friends. That was a lot of fun, because the tickets were fairly cheap (student discount!) Also, I went to see a show at a nearby venue the other day as well (local band, but still pretty good). I was sad that I couldn't go see Weezer (it was 2+hours away from where I lived), but there are still pretty good shows around here every once in a while.

The other three peepz should also update us on what's going on in their lives :)

Wake me up when September ends...

Hey guys!

I guess I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one not updating this blog! I just thought I'd check in and see how everyone has been... um... so I guess if anyone checks this, give us an update!

September really has been the month from hell for me. In work related news, PSP toxins have been rampant in northern California, so naturally testing has increased. We're wrapping up the last year of the project, so lots of write ups as well. Schoolwise, I've been doing my long delayed graduate school search and everything that comes with it (researching professors, personal statements, GRE, all that good stuff). On top of that, I'm still taking a chemistry class during the evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays which has been good so that I don't forget what a classroom setting is like.

I hope that you all are doing well, whether that be with work, graduate studies, or exploring Guatemala... that is if any of you get this message ;)
