Well once again I am in Santa Cruz. My residence consists of a single room in a rather nice bongalo situated in a giant crater on campus. Although it was believed that this would be a huge disaster, it has been proven otherwise. I have many friends who also live in " The Hole" so I at least have some people to bug. But I have only been here one full day and already I am bored out of my mind. So bored in fact I busied myself by watching my friend cook his dinner. My tv is still in storage so my entertainment has been reduced to listening to my very old playlist and my neighbor get it on with her boyfriend( this was not exactly done voluntarily). Tomorrow will be my first day of work. Once again I am subjected to lab life after a quarter of complete bliss (meaning no lab). Dont get me wrong, I love this stuff. Its just that I also hate it. Instead of a summer full of sun and bikinis, its goggles and flourecent lighting for me. 8 hours a day for 8 weeks of unknown compounds, GC's, funky smells and ( gasp) lab write ups. Yippie Oh well, I know Im gonna love it seeing as how I was practically falling out of my chair when I read some of the research the professors in the program are doing. Although I am upset that my visit home was cut short, I cannot deny the fact that I need to start kicking some science ass if Im gonna get into the MD/PhD program of my dreams. There are no more kick back summers for me my friends, Im am completely devoted to becoming a mad scientist/doctor for the next 10 years ( please pray for me). My friends I must go, and since I know home folk read this more then my SC buddies (they just have to come to my room to hear this) I just want to say that my brief visit was not in vain, I had fun while it lasted and hope you all have a great summer, and keep in touch, I have a feeling Im gonna need some outside interaction to stay sane
Love You
