Today I did a lab in Protein Engineering wherein I had to sacrifice a 10 day incubated chicken embryo in order to get the fibroblast cells to culture.
Later on as I came back from Lunch (Chicken Burrito!) I got stopped by a canvasser and donated some money to the ASPCA.
I hope it sort of evens out.

I started writing my personal statement 2 weekends ago, and have probably deleted like 10 paragraphs and rewritten the 5 that are on there right now several times over. Its surprisingly hard to write about myself without interjecting humorous exaggerations or epic similes. I was recently reading what Toyota’s present CEO said about his company “grasping for salvation” to save it from abandoning the consumer, and it really struck a chord with me, in that I was both Toyota and the consumer. The person in charge of my educational goals, and the person in charge of my happiness. I had this bitchin metaphor all laid out and then I realized the review committee is going to read this and think I wrote it right after watching “300″. But I guess thats literally the price to pay.

Pretty much decided I’m going for it, since I’ll be pursuing basically building a device to induce human cellular hibernation. That’s too cool to pass up, imagine Futurama-esque sleeping tubes. It’s like a time machine! Mad $, mad science.
So I’ve started my second year of my master’s degree. I’m hoping this site will work as a personal coach, a fitness celebrity John Basedow so to speak. Over the next so many days, months and (years?) I’ll be postin’ about the process and progress.
I’ll have to decide soon whether or not I’ll be pursuing my PhD. A big decision, as it basically will determine the next 3-4 immediate years of my life. Being conservative thats a good 5% of my life, unless I can get that serum working right. But you guys know what I mean, am I supposed to just impulse decide this? Do people? or do people just know, because I sure don’t.
