electrophysiology, electrophysismology!

Lordy lordy. I'm learning ephys, which is supposed to be hard, and it IS! But what's troublesome is that I'm not even to whole-celling yet. I'm just recording gross electrical activity, field potentials, and even that I am managing to f*** up. Also, my thoughtful and elegant rationale and experimental design are... failing to produce the predicted results. Every time I lament out loud, some smarter-than-me person responds "welcome to science!". Well thanks, guys, but I've actually been here for a minute and it sure does seem to me that the people who get to STAY in science sometimes run experiments that work out. At the rate I'm moving I'll be lucky if I finish lab rotations before I'm 31!

But really, this whining is out of character (for my internet self, at least). I'm not actually all that dejected just yet. Mostly I'm just hungry :) Which is good news, as KM is at home cooking up a feast of broiled salmon with herb mustard glaze and brussell sprouts!

Ok. Thanks for letting me share ("thanks for sharing!")

golllly bum

Seriously, I just happened upon my own defunct blog after commenting upon KM's defunct blog (1 post, didn't even know it existed, srsly). So this might be the definition of off my rocker, but I love the anonymity I'm almost assured here, as the original (brilliant) girlouttathesouth is gone and the new (boring) girlouttathesouth has been inactive so long that odds are my own Momma don't visit no more.

Can I turn this into an impromptu wedding blog? Well, no, actually, as everything I've to say re: weddings has been said thrice or so by A Practical Wedding.

Can I make it a science blog? Not if I want to sleep at night...

It's obvi. not a pet blog, as Dottie is full grown now.

Well. That just about exhausts the topics upon which I am qualified to comment! So I guess it's so long for now, little web log...

(PS, love what you've done with your layout)
