Central Park East - 7:35am
Good morning! Immunology day has arrived. Today at 2pm marks the end of the most busy, challenging, exhausting month I think I've ever had. I worked really hard - and I made it through (almost). Even though Cell Bio didn't work out as I had hoped, I mastered that stuff. I know an incredible amount more now than I did a month ago and, I've started to connect things all across the different disciplines. I'm starting to see the ways that it all comes together. In addition to that, my rotation finished off wonderfully. My project tied together nicely at the end. My PI told me he was impressed with my presentation and my work so he invited me to join the lab.
I couldn't have done it without Brian. He tirelessly came up with and cooked dinner, did dishes, did laundry, folded, and put away, cleaned up, and most importantly, tolerated long evenings of me with my headphones in staring at a computer. He tolerated me spending every weekend of the last month working. He tolerated my anxiety-induced moodiness & occasional snark (probably the worst bit). For this, I am extremely grateful & appreciative. It's hard to take care of more than your fair share of work around the house and get little companionship in return. And, he did it with a smile on his face and encouraging, understanding words to me - never one complaint. I'm definitely not that great of a person yet, but Brian inspires me to be better :)
As for the exam today - it's the second to last one of the year. 1 more and I'm done! Tomorrow at 8am, I board the flight for Oregon to relax for a week. (I've already considered which papers I need to bring - and I'm definitely bringing my computer - I'm just not that good at relaxation).
Have a wonderful day - I already am.
