These past few weeks have been a whirlwind. I finally moved to a nice desk in my lab next to a window and with more space. Unfortunately I won't be able to stay at this desk. My lab doesn't have enough money to keep me as a graduate student, which effectively means I have been laid off. I now must start over with more rotations and finding a new lab. Losing a year of graduate school really sucks. It took a few days for it to sink in, but now I think I am on the otherside. I'm going to take my experiences from the past year and use them to the fullest as I move on. I've learned a lot, not just how to do a western blot or culture cells, but also about politics in funding, politics in academics, and how people react to stressful (money) situations. So, I'll keep you posted on any new adventures that are sure to come. In other news, when is it ever going to stop raining? Hurricanes ruin a lot of outdoor plans!
Peace

Wow.... that really sucks! Any idea what you are going to do with your time now?
Allie - I heard about this earlier and was really bummed for you. Life certainly has its ups and downs. Rejoice in the ups and learn from the downs. The good news is that you can restart and learn something new!
Praying for you.....Uncle Bill
