Trial by fire

Sorry about the long time, no entries thing.

My current project, my final project in Australia for my Ph.D., also happened to be the most difficult thing I have ever done. It was a logistics nightmare, and fraught with unexpected challenges.

But now, it's all over but the shouting! And today, today! I got to do several things that I haven't been able to do in what seems like forever:

1) I woke up when it was light outside, it was so weird not having to set my alarm for 4:30 or 5 in the morning.
2) go to the grocery store and get proper groceries
3) cook my own dinner
4) relax
5) write a fricking blog entry!

Ah, I am so glad it's done. I have learned alot, ALOT, and I am sure that I will look back on this experience as a time of great professional growth and development as a scientist. But right now, all I can say is fuck, I am glad it's over.

I have many emails and blogs to catch up on, but I will now be posting with more regularity. JayAre, I haven't forgotten about your questions, I promise they will be my next entry.

Now I am going to go to sleep and not set an alarm. Squee!!
