It's nice to be back in the swing of things. It was kinda strange on Tuesday to put gloves back on...it felt like forever ago when I last used a pipette and did an experiment. Things are starting to move forward with my project, which is nice, and we are starting a new section in Cell Bio. I also gave my last presentation in my journal club class last night, and it went really well. Now I just have to make sure to read (or at least skim) the articles for class for the rest of the semester and I will be good to go.
The director of the Microbiology department, who is very interactive with the grad students in his program, likes to send the first year micro students with a few upperclassmen out to dinner during the week after the exam. I went last week with three other first years and two upper classmen to Buddakan, an asian fusion restaurant in center city. We all got $50 to "play with" which we used to its fullest (did not cover alcohol though...fortunately, since I'm not a drinker that wasn't a big deal for me). The food was very good, and I was excited to have "real" sashimi again! (I haven't had good sashimi/sushi since going to Japan a year ago). It was a really nice dinner, and the restaurant wasn't too pricey; I could definitly see myself going there again once in a while.
All in all, it's been a good week, with two major accomplishments out of the way. I suddenly find I have a lot more free time now that my presentations are done and my first exam is out of the way. I still can't wait to see how I did though!
