School/Career update!

Summer is here but I can feel the Fall 2008 semester creeping up behind me. I have been juggling around a couple of options for the past couple of months which included:

1) Find a job
2) Apply for more school
3) Continue on as a lazy bum

I placed my resume on Monster a couple of weeks ago and have received four our five calls regarding open lab positions but I have decided to go with option number 2 and applied to the UTHSC to study cytogenetics (which has become my passion as of late). I've been busy the past few days gathering and sending all the paperwork the school needs. I was feeling a little worried and overwhelmed about the situation (because the school accepts only 10 students into the program) when I received an email from the Biology chair at my alma mater regarding a reference request I had sent him. He informed me that he is willing to support me any way he can and told me that he was confident in saying that I would get accepted based on his knowledge of the program. That definitely brightened up my outlook on things!

Now i must find a summer job to hold me over for the summer because I need money!
