Ok no more cop-out lame blogs. At least, this one won't be because I'm finally settled back in and have finished my midterm and all I have left is...oh wait, I leave for New York tomorrow morning and I've got to make a poster by Thursday and I've got several books to read. Oh. The life is never done. :)
From the two interview weekends I've had, I can say this: interviewing is exhausting. You've got to have your brain in the right place 100% of the time and your cool face on 100% of the time. It's super interesting to get away from school and see the cool science that's being done out there and the people who are doing it, but it's not a vacation. You're not there to sight-see. It's "figure-out-your-life" time.
The New York interview will be number 3 of 4, and the rest are all visits, which are definitely more like professional vacations, but at the same time, also like business meetings. What is cool is that I'll be seeing the same people on my trips, kinda the Chemistry/Biology circuit, which is super exciting. It's also exciting when you meet people who know the same people as you. Craaazy.
I can't believe it's already mid-February and BEDUS is more than half over. It's been a whirlwind of a semester for sure and I'm excited to have some time to look back at my days and see what I was thinking. It's been really good for me to put something out every day (even when technically, it's the next day), just to capture my frame of mind. And my frame of mind is now this: I've showered, am snuggly in bed, and am going to catch some Once Upon a Time before going to sleep. Leaving in the morning! :D
