And the World Spins Madly On...

If you haven't heard the song from which I found my name, please youtube one of the million versions of it.

After the 4th of July I miraculously have all my fingers, my eyesight, and most of my friends left...

But now it's been back to work!  We have done two replicate crosses of my starvation vials (all of which are dead!) and they will test them after I leave.  My dissections took a bit of a dip last week, but have been top notch the past few lines, which is great for the lab!  I got to supervise another undergraduate, which makes me feel less like a workhorse and more of a lab assistant!  We will begin analyzing my data tomorrow to start working on my poster.

I will be going home again this weekend for the funeral of one of my favorite teachers, Cindy Beshore, and I am grateful that I had her for a teacher.  Her battle with cancer was a long and winding road, and I'm glad it ended on her own terms.

On a more uplifting note, I have been enjoying making a lot of friendships in the lab, and am getting a little sad about the journey ending soon, but am wanting to make the most of every minute right now!

Until next time,
Tay
