I decided yesterday that I'm going home for Thanksgiving.
Positives: Holidays with the family, free food!, CHIEFS GAME!!
Negatives: 12 hour drive both ways, the circumstances which made me decide to come home.

Around here, I've been studying for a biochem test all week. Let me tell you, I'm sick of the stuff. And I'm ready for break.

I started researching, aka sitting in my office since I'm not actually doing anything in the lab right now. Although I did get to plate my first crystals today. Should be interesting!! It was fun to be in the lab again. I like chemistry! I share an office with another grad student and I have my own desk (soon to be decorated with pictures). We have 3 labs right now and we're getting a 4th soon. And I will be getting keys shortly and a stock room card (free office supplies). I already have access to all of the building after hours. It's like they trust me!

I have to register my car on Friday. Good bye Missouri plates. Kinda sad.
That's all from here. Nothing exciting is really happening. Its the same thing week after week. I hope life is more exciting for you!
