I made a Picassa album for my new little "photography" hobby/mental therapy:

Bugs

Say hello to Micrococcus luteus. This is my (and my lab partner's) "pet bug" in Microbiology lab.  This obligate aerobe is the Gram-positive, not-so-tough bug that is responsible for body odor.  Even more impressive than all this is my awesome streak job-- resulting in isolated colonies in the 3rd, and even some 4th, quadrant.  


School is going along just fine.  I don't find out about the admissions decision for the nursing program I applied to until mid-May.  (Ugh).

There's a lot of personal stuff going on in my life right now, which I won't get into on a public Internet page.  I'll just say that I'm doing my best to learn some good self-management and "emotional-stability" skills, and making sure to focus on me and the little joys in my life.  These are some "grown-up" skills I'm sure will be useful in my future work as well.  I've only just very recently been experimenting with "photography" (more like just experimentally taking pictures) a little, which I really enjoy.  Pictures uploaded onto here don't do justice, but below are a couple anyway.  

In other news, it hit 72 here yesterday and will be 61 on Sunday.. and the dropzone is open this weekend and my gear is current.... :)
